API	Usage notes
`ApplyIndicReorder`	Dispatches script-specific Indic reorder helpers before GSUB shaping or text output
`ApplyIndicShaping`	Applies reorder plus the Indic GSUB feature chain and returns synthetic-codepoint text for output
`IndicShapeToGIDs`	Returns the shaped glyph-ID sequence for an Indic string without emitting PDF text
`GetDevanagariCategory`	Classifies Devanagari codepoints for syllable and reorder decisions
`GetBengaliCategory`	Classifies Bengali codepoints for Indic reorder decisions
`GetGujaratiCategory`	Classifies Gujarati codepoints for Indic reorder decisions
`GetTamilCategory`	Classifies Tamil codepoints for Indic reorder decisions
`GetTeluguCategory`	Classifies Telugu codepoints for Indic reorder decisions
`GetKannadaCategory`	Classifies Kannada codepoints for Indic reorder decisions
`GetMalayalamCategory`	Classifies Malayalam codepoints for Indic reorder decisions
`GetSinhalaCategory`	Classifies Sinhala codepoints for Indic reorder decisions
`GetKhmerCategory`	Classifies Khmer codepoints for the shared complex-script reorder path
`GetMyanmarCategory`	Classifies Myanmar codepoints for the shared complex-script reorder path
`sfIndicShaping`	Runs the conservative Indic syllable reorder path before text output without forcing full GSUB feature application
`sfIndicGSUB`	Runs the Indic reorder and GSUB feature chain, then emits shaped glyph IDs through synthetic codepoints

Usage notes

sfIndicShaping performs reorder-only output and remains the conservative option. sfIndicGSUB reorders each syllable, applies the OpenType Indic feature chain, emits shaped GIDs through synthetic codepoints, and degrades to the reorder path when the font lacks the relevant GSUB script
