I noticed that the Ligature Caret List Table parsing is being skipped, I need this table in order to properly position the cursor and highlight text in a text editor when dealing with ligatures such as fi, ffi, etc. image

Also seems that apple have its own custom ligature Caret Table called lcar:

Yes, this feature isn't needed by harfbuzz/rustybuzz, therefore there were no need in implementing it.

Hiya! It looks like I need the GDEF ligature caret list table as well. Would you be receptive to a PR implementing this?
