I wonder if is possible to turn this <<a href="https://github.com/ccxvii/mupdf/blob/master/source/fitz/harfbuzz.c#L12" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/ccxvii/mup<wbr>df/blob/master/source/fitz/har<wbr>fbuzz.c#L12</a>> comment about harfbuzz on mupdf project into some doable/trackable tasks on harfbuzz bug tracker or are they just might not possible to solve because of ABI compatibility (or fixed already)?

Hi.<br>
<br>
I'd LOVE to see Harfbuzz fixed. It's a brilliant library, let down by this major flaw.<br>
<br>
My experience of fixing such issues in several projects is that fixing it in involves extensive, but ultimately simple, plumbing through of a context field.<br>
<br>
It's not brain surgery, but it's tedious, and it's not something I'd undertake myself without knowing in advance that it would stand a good chance of being accepted.<br>
<br>
I'd love to work with anyone that would be prepared to try to fix this.<br>
<br>
Sadly, I believe that such things would involve a break to the ABI though...<br>
<br>
(I fear this may bounce because I'm not on the harfbuzz list...)<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
