Because I would have been really disappointed to have missed an example which
would have saved me a lot of time, I just re-checked in a fresh clone of the
GIT repository. There is a test program for shaping and that’s it. I do
understand that Harfbuzz is expected to be used through its shaper and thus
does not need to document its "internals" (ie HB_Buffer). But some of us just
want to process OpenType features and come to Harfbuzz because Freetype does
not offer this possibility.

Ok, I’ll try to write some short introduction to the use of Harfbuzz as an
OpenType processor soon, hope it will hlep. :-)
