Description : GNU R deterministic computation of text box metrics
Unlike other tools that dynamically link to the 'Cairo'
stack, 'freetypeharfbuzz' is statically linked to specific
versions of the 'FreeType' and 'harfbuzz' libraries (2.9 and 1.7.6
respectively). This ensures deterministic computation of text box
extents for situations where reproducible results are crucial (for
instance unit tests of graphics).
