Sorry it took a while to get back with you, we really do appreciate your 
help. We have been looking over the code and we believe we are having a 
problem with missing unicode callback functions. We are compiling 
HarfBuzz with the following options turned on:

I am particularly suspicious of the HB_NO_UNICODE_FUNCS define. Am I 
correct in thinking that this is suppressing the built-in harfbuzz 
unicode functions, so we must supply our own?

Thanks so much for your continued help and support,
