/**
* This is a virtual base class used to do complex text layout. The text must all
* be in a single font, script, and language. An instance of a LayoutEngine can be
* created by calling the layoutEngineFactory method. Fonts are identified by
* instances of the LEFontInstance class. Script and language codes are identified
* by integer codes, which are defined in ScriptAndLanuageTags.h.
*
* Note that this class is not public API. It is declared public so that it can be
* exported from the library that it is a part of.
*
* The input to the layout process is an array of characters in logical order,
* and a starting X, Y position for the text. The output is an array of glyph indices,
* an array of character indices for the glyphs, and an array of glyph positions.
* These arrays are protected members of LayoutEngine which can be retreived by a
* public method. The reset method can be called to free these arrays so that the
* LayoutEngine can be reused.
*
* The layout process is done in three steps. There is a protected virtual method
* for each step. These methods have a default implementation which only does
* character to glyph mapping and default positioning using the glyph's advance
* widths. Subclasses can override these methods for more advanced layout.
* There is a public method which invokes the steps in the correct order.
*
* The steps are:
*
* 1) Glyph processing - character to glyph mapping and any other glyph processing
* such as ligature substitution and contextual forms.
*
* 2) Glyph positioning - position the glyphs based on their advance widths.
*
* 3) Glyph position adjustments - adjustment of glyph positions for kerning,
* accent placement, etc.
*
* NOTE: in all methods below, output parameters are references to pointers so
* the method can allocate and free the storage as needed. All storage allocated
* in this way is owned by the object which created it, and will be freed when it
* is no longer needed, or when the object's destructor is invoked.
*
* @see LEFontInstance
* @see ScriptAndLanguageTags.h
