1To enable HarfBuzz bindings for Python among other languages, make sure 2you have latest version of gobject-introspection available. On Ubuntu, 3you can install that this way: 4 5```bash 6sudo apt-get install libgirepository1.0-dev 7``` 8 9And then run `meson setup` and make sure that `Introspection` is reported 10enabled in output. 11 12If you are building with Visual Studio, it is recommended that Visual Studio 132019 or later is used for this build, for the best build experience. 14 15Compile and install. 16 17Make sure you have the installation lib dir in `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` (or the 18installation DLL dir in `PATH` for Windows systems), as needed 19for the linker to find the library. 20 21Then make sure you also have `GI_TYPELIB_PATH` pointing to the resulting 22`$prefix/lib/girepository-*` directory. 23 24Make sure you have pygobject installed. Then check that the following 25import works in your Python interpreter: 26 27```python 28from gi.repository import HarfBuzz 29``` 30 31If it does, you are ready to call HarfBuzz from Python! Congratulations. 32See [`src/sample.py`](src/sample.py). 33 34The Python API will change. Let us know on the mailing list if you are 35using it, and send lots of feedback. 36
