Ironically, I believe Behdad started working on Harfbuzz due to the current open source glyph rendering libraries doing really poorly with non-latin based character sets. Being that Behdad is Persian and Farsi / Arabic tend to use glyphs, it makes sense why it was important to him. Luckily to the world, Google hired him to work on pango and harfbuzz fulltime.
