 /**
  * This is a virtual base class used to do complex text layout. The text must all
  * be in a single font, script, and language. An instance of a LayoutEngine can be
  * created by calling the layoutEngineFactory method. Fonts are identified by
  * instances of the LEFontInstance class. Script and language codes are identified
  * by integer codes, which are defined in ScriptAndLanuageTags.h.
  *
  * Note that this class is not public API. It is declared public so that it can be
  * exported from the library that it is a part of.
  *
  * The input to the layout process is an array of characters in logical order,
  * and a starting X, Y position for the text. The output is an array of glyph indices,
  * an array of character indices for the glyphs, and an array of glyph positions.
  * These arrays are protected members of LayoutEngine which can be retreived by a
  * public method. The reset method can be called to free these arrays so that the
  * LayoutEngine can be reused.
  *
  * The layout process is done in three steps. There is a protected virtual method
  * for each step. These methods have a default implementation which only does
  * character to glyph mapping and default positioning using the glyph's advance
  * widths. Subclasses can override these methods for more advanced layout.
  * There is a public method which invokes the steps in the correct order.
  *
  * The steps are:
  *
  * 1) Glyph processing - character to glyph mapping and any other glyph processing
  *    such as ligature substitution and contextual forms.
  *
  * 2) Glyph positioning - position the glyphs based on their advance widths.
  *
  * 3) Glyph position adjustments - adjustment of glyph positions for kerning,
  *    accent placement, etc.
  *
  * NOTE: in all methods below, output parameters are references to pointers so
  * the method can allocate and free the storage as needed. All storage allocated
  * in this way is owned by the object which created it, and will be freed when it
  * is no longer needed, or when the object's destructor is invoked.
