[HarfBuzz] Question on lxnt/ex-sdl-freetype-harfbuzz

[Nicolas Rougier]

Thanks for the fast answer, I forgot to include:

/* clean up the buffer, but don't kill it just yet */
hb_buffer_reset(buf);

in the loop.

(it was hb_buffer_clear(buf) in the demo).

If you want to reuse the same hb_buffer to shape a new piece of text, you need to clear its existing (shaped) contents first.
