Personally I’d do a mixture of the two, a 7th (8th? I think we have 6 or
7 SalLayout implementations already) SalLayout that uses HarfBuzz

then gradually switch existing platforms to it as it matures, so it is
an overall win not just for the sake of fixing tests.

that definitely sounds like a reasonable approach--i feel we currently
have more platform specific font rendering back-ends than we can handle.

if harfbuzz is good enough for Firefox and Chromium on all platforms
surely it can be good enough for us.
