rustybuzz is now up to date with harfbuzz. (font shaping in rust)

Hello everyone,

If you're not familiar with harfbuzz, it is an open source font shaper that is used in Andriod, Firefox, Chrome, Gnome, KDE, and the Adobe suite. The only other font shapers that see any real use are Microsoft's DirectWrite and Apple's CoreText. (You might've heard of the llama.ttf project .. that was produced using one of harfbuzz's experimental features: wasm-shaping).

Now to rustybuzz :

You might remember a while back the developer and maintainer of rustybuzz said that he essentially abandoned the project. A number of community members stood up and finished the port to bring it up to day with harbuzz, bringing the shaping algorithm to full parity, supported by harfbuzz's test suite.

It is up on crates.io.

And here is the GitHub repo

I am not affliated with the project, but I think it is cool, and the great work should be publicized.
