> Ossy, Simon - how about Qt? Do you still need the harfbuzz.old code or can it go away?

It can go away AFAICS. Currently we use Qt for shaping (which uses Harfbuzz, but that's outside of WebKit). Pierre has done some very promising research towards using harfbuzz-ng directly in the Qt port in WebKit and I'd say if things continue the way they do then we're likely to switch to that in the future. But we are not currently using any existing Harfbuzz code path in WebKit, so feel free to change it as you like ;)
