Hi, Behdad and HarfBuzz folks,
2nd TAI THAM shaping question:
Can you also please confirm that at the present time, the HarfBuzz-ng
code base is *completely unaware* of the fact that U+1A55 TAI THAM
CONSONANT SIGN MEDIAL RA needs to be "shifted" so that in the visual
output it *precedes* the base consonant?
i.e., supposing:
* "K" represents U+1A23 LOW KA
* "R" represents U+1A55 MEDIAL RA
* "U" represents U+1A6A VOWEL SIGN UU
Then if in the logical backstore of the string we have:
"KRU"
this needs to appear visually as:
"RKU"
( the "U" is actually a subjoined vowel sign that hangs below the "K"
but we can't show that in email )
