Text shaping is anything but easy. Harfbuzz is probably the state of the art open source solution - https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzz

Used in in Android, Chrome, ChromeOS, Firefox, GNOME, GTK+, KDE, Qt, LibreOffice, OpenJDK, XeTeX, PlayStation, Microsoft Edge, Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Godot Engine, Unreal Engine, ...
