I feel honored 😊
Yeah, I'll do my best to review it. Luckily, I have machines which can run FreeType, HarfBuzz, & Cairo, so I'll spend some time getting to know those libraries in order to review this.
The patch you linked to should be orthogonal to this one.
Khaled: am I correct in assuming this bug only reproduces with specific fonts? Because of licensing issues, we can't include arbitrary fonts in our tests. I would be happy to work with you to make a test font which exhibits this bug.</pre>
