Is there a way to choose between OT and AAT ? Some fonts have both and as far as I know, iOS supports only AAT while Windows supports only OT. This would be useful for testing fonts.

Umm. Not currently. Open a separate issue please. Not super excited about it though.

[brawer]

iOS does support OpenType.

Reopening to add this control. I need it for testing the implementation as well.

My current thinking is to rename the default shaper to "auto". Then add aliases "ot", "aat", "ot-aat", and "aat-ot" that control which technology is used and in which order.

Humm. It's kind of a pain to implement that right now. Maybe I just add an environment variable to affect the order and leave the rest as is. Maybe just rename "ot" shaper to "auto" or "harfbuzz" and make "ot" remain as an alias.

Comments?

[behdad]

I decided to just add a env-var option to prefer 'aat' over ot. HB_OPTIONS=aat.

[behdad]

Reopening again, as programmatic control is desired.

This was kept open for #322 (comment), which is not yet addressed.

Right. Depending on how we decide to address #1348 maybe we don't need this.

[khaledhosny]

Closing now, the remaining part is tracked in #1391.
