Guinevere.TextShaping

Full OpenType text shaping for Guinevere: ligatures, contextual alternates, mark positioning, kerning and complex scripts.

Without this package Guinevere uses its built-in BasicTextShaper, which skips shaping: one glyph per character from the font's character map, plus GPOS/kern pair kerning. Plug this package in to shape every text layout (labels, rich text, Markdown, editors):

gui.TextShaper = ComplexTextShaper.Instance;

Layouts stay cached across frames. Kerning still follows TextLayoutOptions.Kerning and TextSpanStyle.Kerning.

The shaping engine is currently HarfBuzz, through SkiaSharp.HarfBuzz; it brings the HarfBuzzSharp native library for each platform.
