> One does not simply add complex script support to some simplistic text drawing codebase.
We don't disagree here. This is the reason why rendering support for non-Latin scripts is usually abysmal on most software like op. It's why authors need help and usually won't do it themself.
> Thus, it's a major architectural decision to support complex scripts at all, and to figure out how to do it.
That's all the more reason to contribute to the project.
> It's not useful advice.
Perhaps it isn't very practical, but someone has to do it. It's also better than the alternative of just complaining without contributing towards a useful result.
