It's possible to enable HarfBuzz text layout on Mac by either:
- Set QT_ENABLE_HARFBUZZ environment variable when running a Qt
app.
- configure with -harfbuzz to build Qt, then HarfBuzz support
will be turned on by default.
HarfBuzz will only be used when the font explicitly requested
is supported by HarfBuzz (aka. TrueType/OpenType font), other
fonts (AAT fonts) will still be handled by Core Text.
Using HarfBuzz for text layout will hopefully solve most tricky
complex text shaping bugs on Mac.
