[`GPOS`] Spacing Marks

Open behdad opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

Original proposal Martin Hosken and I wrote in 2016 is here: https://github.com/OpenType/opentype-layout/blob/63d169c92160832cf5b2333f28b559c80c9a4389/proposals/20151104-spacemark.md

I could not fully implement it in HarfBuzz though. The problem is that it makes a circular dependency between calculating glyph offsets and glyph advances. I need to think it through more to see if those can be solved as a system together. ~~As such, not slating this for the first release milestone yet.~~

Changed my mind about milestone. Let's find a solution since this is rather essential to Layout2.0. cc @mhosken.
