Vertical variants of glyphs using HarfBuzz #40
Description
Some Japanese characters like for example the Long Vowel Mark "ー" U+30FC https://www.compart.com/en/unicode/U+30FC have different appearance for horizontal and vertical text layout.
Instead of getting glyph indices with FreeType for a given character in
https://github.com/maplibre/font-maker/blob/main/main.cpp#L21
We could use HarfBuzz with direction set to top-to-bottom. I tried this with the cli tool of harfbuzz and found it indeed returns different glyphs:
hb-shape NotoSansJP-Regular.ttf "ー"
[gid1387=0+1000]
hb-shape --direction=ttb NotoSansJP-Regular.ttf "ー"
[gid17662=0@-500,-880+0,-1000]
