Werner Lemberg c8c7ad7910 [autofit] Add support for Georgian scripts.
Georgian is problematic, since `uppercase' forms of Mkhedruli
(called Mtavruli) are not yet defined in Unicode, which means that
proper blue zones can't be defined.  However, there is already a
proposal submitted to Unicode; see

  http://www.unicode.org/L2/L2016/16034-n4707-georgian.pdf

Additionally, due to historical reasons, Unicode treats Khutsuri as
the same script as Mkhedruli, and so does OpenType.  However, since
the two scripts have completely different shapes it can happen that
blue zones differ considerably.  The tag `geok' used here (derived
from ISO 15924) to differentiate the two scripts is not an OpenType
tag in use.  If we now have a font that contains both glyphs for
Mkhedruli and Khutsuri, and it uses OpenType features for both also,
HarfBuzz unavoidably treats all glyphs as `geor'.  As a consequence,
blue zones for `geok' are not used for glyphs involved in the
OpenType features.

An issue not yet resolved is which OpenType feature should be used
to access Mtavruli glyph shapes; right now, FreeType doesn't set up
support for them, but it is easy to add them later on as soon as
more information is available.

* src/autofit/afblue.dat: Add blue zone data for Georgian.

* src/autofit/afblue.c, src/autofit/afblue.h: Regenerated.

* src/autofit/afscript.h: Add Georgian standard characters.

* src/autofit/afranges.c: Add Georgian data.

* src/autofit/afstyles.h: Add Georgian data.

README

  FreeType 2.6.3
  ==============

  Homepage: http://www.freetype.org

  FreeType is a freely available software library to render fonts.

  It  is  written  in  C,  designed to  be  small,  efficient,  highly
  customizable, and  portable while capable of  producing high-quality
  output  (glyph  images) of  most  vector  and bitmap  font  formats.

  Please   read   the  docs/CHANGES   file,   it  contains   IMPORTANT
  INFORMATION.

  Read the  files `docs/INSTALL*'  for installation  instructions; see
  the file `docs/LICENSE.TXT' for the available licenses.

  The FreeType 2 API reference is located in `docs/reference'; use the
  file   `ft2-toc.html'   as   the   top  entry   point.    Additional
  documentation is available as a separate package from our sites.  Go
  to

    http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/freetype/

  and download one of the following files.

    freetype-doc-2.6.3.tar.bz2

  Mailing Lists
  =============

  The preferred way  of communication with the FreeType  team is using
  e-mail lists.

    general use and discussion:      freetype@nongnu.org
    engine internals, porting, etc.: freetype-devel@nongnu.org
    announcements:                   freetype-announce@nongnu.org
    git repository tracker:          freetype-commit@nongnu.org

  The lists are moderated; see

  how to subscribe.


  Bugs
  ====

  Please submit bug reports at

    https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?group=freetype

  Alternatively,    you   might    report    bugs    by   e-mail    to
  `freetype-devel@nongnu.org'.   Don't  forget   to  send  a  detailed
  explanation of the problem --  there is nothing worse than receiving
  a terse message that only says `it doesn't work'.


  Enjoy!
