There are a couple of directly-related tickets, but I thought this one
should have its own ticket, with high-priority.
Currently Haiku cannot display complex scripts due to lack of proper
rendering support and app_server integration.
It looks like some preliminary work has been done before as part of the
GSOC program: https://github.com/stippi/DemoHarfbuzzApp
Having excellent language rendering support is very important to reach a
broader audience.
