+For the development of HarfBuzz, the Microsoft shaping technology, Uniscribe,
+as a widely used and tested shaper is used as more-or-less OpenType reference
+implemenetation and that specially is important where OpenType specification
+is or wasn't that clear. For having access to Uniscribe on Linux/macOS these
+steps are recommended:
+
+1. Install Wine from your favorite package manager.
+
+2. And `mingw-w64` compiler.
+ With `brew` on macOS, you can have it like `brew install mingw-w64`
+
+3. Download and put [this](https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3_fQkxDZZXXbWltRGd5bjVrUDQ)
+ on your `~/.local/i686-w64-mingw32`.
+
+4. Replace all the instances of `/home/behdad/.local/i586-mingw32msvc`
+ and `/home/behdad/.local/i686-w64-mingw32` with `<$HOME>/.local/i686-w64-mingw32`
+ on that folder. (`<$HOME>` replace it with `/home/XXX` or `/Users/XXX` on macOS)
+
+ Probably you shouldn't replace the ones are inside binaries.
+
+5. `NOCONFIGURE=1 ./autogen.sh && mkdir winbuild && cd winbuild`
+
+6. `../mingw32.sh --with-uniscribe && cd ..`
+
+7. `make -Cwinbuild`
+
+Now you can use hb-shape using `wine winbuild/util/hb-shape.exe` but if you like to
+to use the original Uniscribe,
+
+8. Bring a 32bit version of `usp10.dll` for youself from `C:\Windows\SysWOW64\usp10.dll` of your
+ Windows installation (asuming you have a 64-bit installation, otherwise `C:\Windows\System32\usp10.dll`)
+ that it is not a DirectWrite proxy ([for more info](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniscribe)).
+ Rule of thumb, your `usp10.dll` should have a size more than 500kb, otherwise
+ it is designed to work with DirectWrite which Wine can't work with its original one.
+
+ Put the dll on the folder you are going to run the next command,
+
+9. `WINEDLLOVERRIDES="usp10=n" wine winbuild/util/hb-shape.exe fontname.ttf -u 0061,0062,0063 --shaper=uniscribe`
+
+(`0061,0062,0063` means `abc`, use test/shaping/hb-unicode-decode to generate ones you need)
