Overview of changes leading to 14.3.0
Friday, July 31, 2026
=====================================
- Changes affecting shaping output:
* Lookup order is now respected for mark positioning in the cross-direction
(y in horizontal text, x in vertical text): marks no longer follow a
cross-direction shift that a later lookup applies to the base. This
improves compatibility with DirectWrite and Core Text.
* Fix mark attachment to ligatures formed from decomposed glyphs.
* The `calt` feature in Hangul text is now disabled only for the Jamos,
not the whole buffer.
- Support for partially instancing version of `avar` table, as well as `CFF2`
table.
- New fill-glyph paint operation and APIs for the common case of filling a
glyph with a solid color.
- New API to fetch assorted raw values from the `OS/2`, `head`, and `post`
tables.
- New experimental API to extract a font’s glyph dependency graph, that
applications can use to compute glyph closures themselves without running the
subsetter.
- New subset flag to convert the charset of a subsetted CID-keyed `CFF` fonts
into identity charset, and a matching `hb-subset` option. Useful for
embedding fonts in PDF.
- Command-line utilities now handle non-ASCII arguments correctly on Windows.
- Various instancing and subsetting fixes.
- Various fixes to the experimental `harfbuzz-vector`, `harfbuzz-raster` and
`harfbuzz-gpu` libraries.
- Various improvements to the HarfRust integration shaper.
- Various build, CI, portability, and fuzzing fixes.
- New API:
