A number of people have asked me for a mechanism by which graphite may be dynamically loaded only when a Graphite font is used. I've struggled with the notion of this, but I think I understand it now. I hope that this can help everyone to have what they want for minimal cost.
This patch adds dynamic loading of graphite support for graphite fonts in harfbuzz. The three way configure option is now: --with-graphite2=no means no graphite support. --with-graphite2=yes means to build and link against an existing graphite library. --with-graphite2=auto means to build independently of any graphite library but to attempt to dynamically load graphite when a graphite font is encountered.
This patch has been built and tested on linux only at the moment.
