Covered APIs

API	Usage notes
`HasGPOSKerning`	Reports whether the registered Unicode font exposes GPOS kerning lookups
`GetGPOSPairAdjustment`	Returns the signed advance adjustment for an ordered glyph pair and can also return placement-aware X/Y offsets through the overload
`GetGPOSContextualKernRun`	Returns per-glyph contextual kern adjustments by resolving GPOS Type 7 and Type 8 positioning rules over a glyph run
`HasGPOSVerticalKern`	Reports whether the registered Unicode font exposes vertical kerning or vertical proportional adjustment lookups
`GetGPOSVerticalKern`	Returns signed vertical YAdvance adjustment from vkrn or vpal lookups for an ordered glyph pair
`GetGPOSMarkOffset`	Returns Mark-to-Base placement offsets for attaching a mark glyph to a base glyph
`GetGPOSMarkMarkOffset`	Returns Mark-to-Mark placement offsets for stacking one mark glyph on another
`HasGPOSCursive`	Reports whether the registered Unicode font exposes GPOS cursive attachment lookups
`GetGPOSCursiveAnchors`	Returns entry and exit cursive anchors for a glyph when the font supplies a cursive attachment rule
`GetGPOSMarkToLigatureOffset`	Returns Mark-to-Ligature placement offsets for attaching a mark to a specific ligature component
`GetGPOSLigatureComponentCount`	Returns the number of mark-attachment components recorded for a ligature glyph so callers can choose a valid `ComponentIndex` before calling `GetGPOSMarkToLigatureOffset`
`ApplyMarkToLigatureShaping`	Records ligature component ownership so mark-to-ligature offsets can be applied during text emission
`sfKerning`	Enables GPOS pair-kerning adjustments during left-to-right Unicode text emission
`sfMarkPositioning`	Enables GPOS Mark-to-Base and Mark-to-Mark offsets for combining marks
`sfMarkToLigature`	Enables GPOS Mark-to-Ligature offsets for marks attached to individual ligature components
`sfCursiveAttachment`	Enables GPOS cursive entry/exit anchor alignment during Unicode text emission, including right-to-left Arabic runs shaped by `sfArabicGSUB`
`sfVerticalKerning`	Enables GPOS vkrn and vpal vertical advance adjustment in the vertical text output path

Usage notes

Pair kerning vraća signed advance i placement korekcije u 1000-unit emu. Contextual kerning rešava Type 7 i Type 8 lookup-ove kroz glyph run. Mark positioning pokriva Mark-to-Base, Mark-to-Mark i Mark-to-Ligature anchor-e. ApplyMarkToLigatureShaping priprema run-level podatke o ligature komponentama koje koristi sfMarkToLigature. Cursive attachment poravnava exit anchor na jednom glyfu sa entry anchorom na sledećem glyfu, što je najkorisnije nakon native Arabic GSUB shaping-a kada font-specific contextual glyph IDs već nose te anchor-e. Emit putanja primenjuje ovo samo kada je odgovarajuća shaping zastavica uključena
