Release Notes

harfbuzz/harfbuzz (harfbuzz)

v14.2.0

Compare Source

In this release, the experimental raster, vector, and GPU libraries went through several rounds of code review and cleanup to make sure they follow the high standards expected of HarfBuzz code. The API has also been extensively reviewed based on experience gained from using these libraries. We consider the code and API to be ready for stabilization, and we expect to graduate them from experimental in the near future. If you are using or planning to use these libraries and have any concerns about the API, it is time to raise them. Once a library is deemed stable, we will never change the API or ABI in an incompatible way.

• GPU library:

  • New color-glyph paint renderer, based on design by Lê Duy Quang.
    hb_gpu_paint_t walks a font's paint tree (COLRv0 or COLRv1) and encodes its layers (solid fills, linear / radial / sweep gradients, transforms, composite groups) into a compact blob.
    A new fragment-shader function hb_gpu_paint() renders the blob in premultiplied RGBA; monochrome glyphs are handled transparently via a synthesized foreground-colored layer.
    Shader sources provided in GLSL, WGSL, MSL, and HLSL.
  • Paint encoder limitations: the encoder sets unsupported and returns NULL when num_ops would exceed 32767, push_group nests deeper than 4, or the paint tree calls back through the image callback (PaintImage).
    Nested glyph clips are intersected up to 3 levels; a few composite modes use approximate fallbacks; push_clip_rectangle is silently ignored.
  • Encode entry point now returns extents and auto-clears the encoder; the standalone get_extents() is gone.
  • Gradient color stop interpolation now happens in premultiplied space per the OpenType COLR specification.
  • The foreground color sentinel (is_foreground) now correctly preserves the paint-tree alpha from the encoded color data instead of discarding it.
  • The hb-gpu utility gains --draw / --paint flags with per-font auto-detect, and --output-file / -o for headless single-frame rendering to a PPM image.

• Vector library:

  • New PDF output backend. Vector paint glyphs now render to PDF page content, producing scalable COLRv0 / COLRv1 color-glyph artwork (solid fills, linear / radial / sweep gradients, blend modes, PNG images with transparency) that can be embedded directly in PDF documents. Useful for PDF producers such as LibreOffice that want crisp, resolution-independent color emoji.
  • New SVG id prefix API on paint allows prefixing document references, which allows for embedding multiple SVGs in the same page without name clashes (hb_vector_paint_set_svg_prefix).
  • Removed glyph path dedup from vector draw and paint. Each glyph is emitted inline; no <defs> / <use> caching.
  • _glyph() functions are now thin convenience wrappers documented as equivalent expansions of the underlying font draw/paint API.
  • Drop glyph-source rendering of SVG-in-OT fonts.

• Raster library:

  • Drop glyph-source rendering of SVG-in-OT fonts.

• Across Draw / Paint subsystems:

  • _reset() methods gain matching_clear() companions that drop accumulated data while preserving user configuration. Getter companions added for setters across raster, vector, and gpu types.

• Various fuzzer fixes for raster, vector, and GPU libraries.

• Paint API:

  • New arbitrary-path clip: hb_paint_push_clip_path_start / _end let callers clip to a caller-supplied outline, not just a font glyph. push_clip_path_start() returns the draw-funcs (and matching draw data) for the backend’s path accumulator; the caller drives hb_draw_*() into it, then calls push_clip_path_end(), followed by painted ops, then hb_paint_pop_clip() to release the clip. Implemented for all paint backends: vector (SVG defs + clipPath + url ref), vector PDF (q / path / W n), raster (path rendered to an alpha mask, intersected with the current clip), and GPU (the path is encoded into a Slug sub-blob so the fragment shader clips against it the same way it clips against glyph outlines).

• Shaping:

  • Indic: categorize U+1CF5 and U+1CF6 as CS.

• Changed API

  • GPU library:

    • hb_gpu_draw_glyph() now returns void (was hb_bool_t). Use hb_gpu_draw_glyph_or_fail() if you need the success status.
    • hb_gpu_paint_glyph() now returns void (was hb_bool_t) and internally synthesizes a foreground-colored layer for non-color glyphs via hb_font_paint_glyph(), so every glyph with an outline produces output. Use hb_gpu_paint_glyph_or_fail() (which delegates to hb_font_paint_glyph_or_fail()) if you need to distinguish color vs synthesized paint. Encoder-level limits (unsupported ops, group-stack overflow) no longer fail paint_glyph; they surface from hb_gpu_paint_encode() returning NULL.
    • hb_gpu_draw_encode() now takes an extents out-parameter and auto-clears the encoder on return.
    • hb_gpu_draw_darken() renamed to hb_gpu_stem_darken().

  • Vector library:

    • hb_vector_svg_set_precision() and its paint counterpart renamed to hb_vector_draw_set_precision() / hb_vector_paint_set_precision() (SVG-specific naming is inaccurate with the PDF backend added).
    • hb_vector_draw_glyph() / hb_vector_paint_glyph() now return void (were hb_bool_t). Paint additionally gains a draw fallback for non-color glyphs. Use the matching _or_fail() variants for the hb_bool_t return.

  • Raster library:

    • hb_raster_draw_glyph() / hb_raster_paint_glyph() now return void (were hb_bool_t). Paint additionally gains a draw fallback for non-color glyphs. Use the matching _or_fail() variants for the hb_bool_t return.

  • General:

    • Many read-only getters gained const on their object argument.
    • Six public draw / paint funcs getters across raster, vector, and gpu now take a const-pointer to the relevant context instance instead of being singletons:
      hb_raster_draw_get_funcs (const hb_raster_draw_t *)`
      hb_raster_paint_get_funcs (const hb_raster_paint_t *)
      hb_vector_draw_get_funcs (const hb_vector_draw_t *)
      hb_vector_paint_get_funcs (const hb_vector_paint_t *)
      hb_gpu_draw_get_funcs (const hb_gpu_draw_t *)
      hb_gpu_paint_get_funcs (const hb_gpu_paint_t *)
      This is what lets vector_paint dispatch to SVG- vs PDF- flavored callbacks transparently when called from outside code; the others currently use the instance for symmetry only.
