enable_text_shaping property

LayoutOptions.enable_text_shaping property

Flag indicating whether to enable support for OpenType features using the HarfBuzz text shaping engine.

@property
def enable_text_shaping(self) -> bool:
    ...

@enable_text_shaping.setter
def enable_text_shaping(self, value: bool):
    ...

Remarks

Text shaping is only performed when exporting to PDF or XPS formats. For Windows platforms no additional efforts are required because Aspose.Words for Python via Net already includes compiled HarfBuzz library. For other systems, Aspose.Words for Python via Net relies on already installed HarfBuzz library. For instance, many Linux-based systems have HarfBuzz installed system-wide by default. If not, there is usually a package available for installing via package manager.
