That's very interesting --- initially I thought Qt used Pango, before
remembering that Pango was tied to glib; but then I couldn't find what
shaper Qt used so assumed they had my own. Demonstrates my point, though!

Incidentally, and this is now getting terminally offtopic, but I
recently discovered this:

http://nothings.org/stb/stb_truetype.h

PD (where applicable) TrueType rasterizer in one source file which
compiled to a 20kB binary! But it's not a shaper, so all you get out are
glyphs. (I actually want to use this at work. Alas, HarfBuzz looks way
too heavyweight for us.)
