Magnum::Text::HarfBuzzFont class

HarfBuzz font plugin.

Improves FreeTypeFont with HarfBuzz text layouting capabilities, such as kerning, ligatures etc.

This plugin provides the TrueTypeFont and OpenTypeFont plugins.

Usage

This plugin depends on the Text and HarfBuzz libraries and the FreeTypeFont plugin. It is built if MAGNUM_WITH_HARFBUZZFONT is enabled when building Magnum Plugins. To use as a dynamic plugin, load "HarfBuzzFont" via Corrade::PluginManager::Manager.

Additionally, if you're using Magnum as a CMake subproject, bundle the magnum-plugins repository and do the following. Using HarfBuzz itself as a CMake subproject isn't tested at the moment, so you need to provide it as a system dependency and point CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH to its installation dir if necessary.

set(MAGNUM_WITH_HARFBUZZFONT ON CACHE BOOL "" FORCE)
add_subdirectory(magnum-plugins EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL)

# So the dynamically loaded plugin gets built implicitly
add_dependencies(your-app MagnumPlugins::HarfBuzzFont)

To use as a static plugin or as a dependency of another plugin with CMake, put FindMagnumPlugins.cmake and FindHarfBuzz.cmake into your modules/ directory, request the HarfBuzzFont component of the MagnumPlugins package and link to the MagnumPlugins::HarfBuzzFont target:

find_package(MagnumPlugins REQUIRED HarfBuzzFont)

# ...
target_link_libraries(your-app PRIVATE MagnumPlugins::HarfBuzzFont)
