According to HarfBuzz's home page, laying out text is not its
(primary) functionality.  You enter a string of character codes for a
given font, and you get back a string of glyphs together with its
metrics and positions.

Just think of paragraph formatting using the Plass algorithm (as
provided by TeX) in combination with Zapf's hz algorithm, say.  And
right so: It should be done (at least) one level higher than HarfBuzz.
