Description

Command-line utilities for inspecting and testing HarfBuzz text shaping. They help developers and font specialists see how text becomes glyphs, debug font behavior, and verify rendering choices.

Install it if you work with fonts, text rendering, or internationalization. The tools are diagnostic utilities, not a normal desktop text editor.
