Hey Behdad,
In hb-ot-shape-complex-myanmar.cc, we have the code fragment
/*
* Note:
*
* Spec says 'mark' is used, and the mmrtext.ttf font from
* Windows 8 has lookups for it. But testing suggests that
* Windows 8 Uniscribe is NOT applying it. It *is* applying
* 'mkmk' however.
*/
if (hb_options ().uniscribe_bug_compatible)
plan->map.add_feature (HB_TAG('m','a','r','k'), 0, F_GLOBAL);
which disables the 'mark' feature in Uniscribe-compatible mode.
However, AFAICT from my current testing, it looks like Uniscribe on Win8
*is* applying the 'mark' feature, and so this is resulting in tons of
unwanted discrepancies when I try to compare stuff. (This is when
testing with the mmrtext.ttf font from Windows 8.)
Could you re-test and see whether you agree that 'mark' is now being
applied by Uniscribe? (I wonder if there's been a fix in a Win8 update
of some kind since we originally worked on this?) If so, we should
remove this hack.
