Hello,

I built emacs from harfbuzz branch with harfbuzz 1.0.3 installed (RHEL 6.8).

I quickly compared Hindi and Gujarati rendering difference between emacs
built with m17n vs the new harfbuzz branch build.

With harfbuzz, it does not render the partial glyphs for Gujarati, but does
it fine for Hindi. But on the build with m17n, both Hindi and Gujarati show
that partial glyph rendered fine.
