Freetype does not have harfbuzz support (circular dependency) #1903

@Ghabry

Description

@Ghabry

Freetype supports textshaping through Harfbuzz but to compile harfbuzz you need freetype first.

Which means to get a freetype that supports harfbuzz the compile order is:

  • Freetype without Harfbuzz <- in vcpkg
  • Harfbuzz <- in vcpkg
  • Freetype with Harfbuzz <- not in vcpkg

Any idea how to solve this? This would need a "freetype-with-harfbuzz" package that provides "freetype". Can this be expressed with vcpkg?
