Re: Is it possible to disable the shaping to presentation forms

Ok I will keep using log2vis. Thanks.

I'm thinking, in order to skip the shaping, I could just pass NULL as 
the visual_str and just use the l2v table to relayout my string before 
shaping it, but I don't know whether the l2v table is biyective or nor 
because, for instance, the ligature LAM WITH ALEF represents two 
characters.

Another reason I think it wouldn't be so straight forward is the amount 
of parameters fribidi_reorder_line needs to do the same task.

Regards!
