   Unexpected hurdle: The CSS lexer I'm using is relying on the "text" dependency to use UTF-16, whereas I've got my Harfbuzz language bindings relying on version 2 to use UTF-8 like everything else...

   Likes like I have some contributions to make before I can see whether my FontConfig to FreeType bridge works correctly...

     Nevermind, someone already has contributed a fix and it's not getting published...

     @Jdreben Yeah, for a year!

     Who do I talk to for this situation to be remedied?

     @alcinnz Hmm that sounds frustrating. Liked the first half of that message and then saw the ‘not getting published’. It’s just sitting there?

     @Jdreben Yes, I have. That's the place to start!

     Question is whether they're still active...

     @alcinnz a maintainer right? Is this a FOSS project? Sorry I jumped in but didn’t understand all the context you gave in the first post

     @Jdreben O.K., there's a process for this exact situation...

     I think I'll wait a week to see if my prompting kicks any action, before offering to take over the package. Thankfully there should barely be any further development to do on it, especially thanks to that pull request!

     @alcinnz yeah best of luck to you. That’s the hard part. It sucks to have to fork it yourself. 😅
