It seems that while the zero-width joiner and zero-width non-joiner codepoints (U+200C and U+200D) are interpreted correctly (they change the join behaviour), they are still added as glyphs to render in the output. The problem is that some fonts ignore these glyphs but I have come across fonts that actually display a sign for these codepoints. I would like to know if this is something that I have to handle by myself or if there is something else I'm missing.


Not your fault.  Something that HarfBuzz should be doing by default, but I
just have not got to implement yet.  Will do soon.
