HarfBuzz Library with Delphi® and Free Pascal

Introducing HarfBuzz Library

The HarfBuzz library is an open source text shaping engine that provides support for complex text layout. It solves the problem of shaping and positioning of complex scripts, such as Arabic, Indic, and Southeast Asian scripts, in a way that ensures accurate and visually appealing rendering of the text. This library is extremely helpful for developers who work with text layout and need to support a wide range of languages and scripts in their applications. By using HarfBuzz, developers can ensure that their text is correctly shaped and positioned, regardless of the language or script being used.

Using HarfBuzz Library with Delphi® and Free Pascal

The HarfBuzz library can now be used with Delphi and Free Pascal (Lazarus) with the help of custom bindings to the original library provided by BuyLibs. BuyLibs provides a wrapper that enables developers to utilize the original version of the HarfBuzz library from its authors, in compliance with the library's license terms.
