This repository includes these two libraries as submodules. By default, HarfBuzz and GNU FriBidi will be compiled as part of the app, without any additional dependencies. This allows the app to be built on systems where these libraries are not readily available. | 52 | Lagrange relies on the [HarfBuzz](https://harfbuzz.github.io) and [GNU FriBidi](https://github.com/fribidi/fribidi/) libraries for handling complex scripts and bidirectional text.
