/**
 * 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.
