HarfBuzz is an open-source software library used for shaping text. It is primarily used for complex text layout, which includes tasks such as selecting appropriate glyphs for each character, positioning glyphs correctly, and applying various text transformations.

HarfBuzz supports many writing systems and languages, including Arabic, Indic scripts, Thai, and Mongolian, among others. It provides developers with a set of APIs and tools for working with text, such as Unicode normalization and bidirectional text support.

HarfBuzz is designed to be highly portable and can be used on a variety of platforms, including Linux, Windows, macOS, and iOS. It is also used by many other software projects, including web browsers, text editors, and word processors.

HarfBuzz is licensed under the MIT License, which makes it free to use and modify for any purpose, including commercial use. Its open-source nature also makes it a popular choice for developers who want to customize and extend its functionality.
