[HarfBuzz] Harfbuzz on Windows

[Samiullah Khawaja]

Hi,

What about uniscribe? Will it be able to replace the icu/glib dependency. I
thought I can get rid of icu/glib dependency by using uniscribe. Is my
assumption wrong? What does hb-uniscribe.cc file in harfbuzz-ng source do?

Are there any Windows APIs I can use and write a layer on it to replace the
icu/glib dependency?

Thanks for the help.
Sami
