Text shaping is the process of converting text to glyph indices and positions as part of text rendering. It is complementary to font rendering as part of the text rendering process; font rendering is used to generate the glyphs, and text shaping decides which glyphs to render and where they should be put on the image plane. Unicode is generally used to specify the text to be rendered.
