HardFuzz

Yet another HarfBuzz C# binding. Intended to be a more complete alternative to SharpFont.HarfBuzz and HarfBuzzSharp.

.NET Standard 2.0. Not really tested on environment other than .NET Core 3.1 plus Windows 10 x64 though.

Native binaries not included; HarfBuzz provides official builds for 32-bit Windows, while you can get my MinGW 64-bit build here (don't forget the other DLLs!)

WIP.

Target HarfBuzz version

2.6.4

What's implemented now

• hb-common

Documentation

None at this point. Only some basic XML docs are present. Please refer to HarfBuzz Manual.

Usage

Please refer to the unit test.

To-do

• Unicode functions
• Maybe other features if someone asked me
• Complete XML docs (<param> tags etc.)
• Unit tests
• Handle unmanaged errors more properly
