[HarfBuzz] Merging the Qt shapers into Harfbuzz

[sachin Tawniya]

Hi,

I downloaded the code and was digging in the API's
about their functionality. I want to contribute to
this and want to implement/add code in the harfbuzz. 
 
Because I am QT developer and use to
contribut/Solve Qt based rendering issues, I am so
much interested to implement any thing over it.

I am interested to volunteer for this, and want
to know how I can proceed. 

Can you please in this regards, if you have any design
Docs and any API implementation to be done.

regards
Sachin Tawniya
