Charta.Shaping.HarfBuzz

HarfBuzz text shaping for Charta — correct cursive joining, contextual forms, reordering, and mark positioning for Arabic, Syriac, Indic, and other complex scripts.

Charta's core is dependency-free and shapes Latin, Cyrillic, Greek, CJK, and Hebrew correctly on its own. This optional add-on plugs HarfBuzz in for the scripts that need full OpenType shaping. It is a separate package because it carries a native HarfBuzz binary per platform — the core stays managed and tiny.

Usage

using Charta.Shaping.HarfBuzz;

ChartaHarfBuzz.Register();   // once at startup

// From here on, Arabic joins correctly:
Document.Create(doc => doc.Page(page =>
    page.Content().Text("مرحبا بالعالم").FontFamily("Noto Sans Arabic")))
    .GeneratePdf("arabic.pdf");

Register a font that covers the script (FontManager.RegisterFont(...)) — the shaper needs the font's GSUB/GPOS tables to do its work.
