> Fortunately, support for this was added in Freetype in 2013, so I won't have much convincing to do, nor much patch-sending. It's also implemented in FontConfig. Plenty of applications compiled for GNU/Linux support it out of the box too, such as Mozilla Firefox and Chrome Linux.
Patches are welcome to add support for this to Emacs on Posix systems.
On MS-Windows, this would require to switch from Uniscribe to
DirectWrite, AFAIU, which presents only C++ APIs, so it would be
harder.
