I made a start on a Devanagari shaper some time ago, but have not worked on it recently, and in the meantime there's been a lot of internal change in the hb-ng code, so none of what I did then will be directly usable now. I've passed it over to Behdad, but don't know if he's given any thought recently to how this will be managed within hb-ng. The internal API it uses to interact with the Arabic shaper is not sufficient to support Indic; some added "hooks" or whatever will be needed for the more complex processing model.

I can / will update your patch and integrate it in.  However that uses the new
Indic OpenType tables only, right?  I was thinking about porting Pango's or
Qt's old Indic shaper for the initial 1.0 release of HarfBuzz.  Will look into it.
