(uniscribe_shape): Increase items buffer size. Give up if glyph indices not supported. Use uniscribe obtained ABC widths for individual metrics. Map glyph clusters back to characters using fClusterStart flag. Return number of glyphs produced, not chars processed.

;;; Commentary:

;; This file supplies the macro make-help-screen which constructs
;; single character dispatching with browsable help such as that provided
;; by help-for-help. This can be used to make many modes easier to use; for
;; example, the GNU Emacs Empire Tool uses this for every "nested" mode map
;; called from the main mode map.

;;       The name of this package was changed from help-screen.el to
;; help-macro.el in order to fit in a 14-character limit.

;;-> ***********************  Example of use *********************************

;;->(make-help-screen help-for-empire-redistribute-map
;;->		  "c:civ m:mil p:population f:food ?"
;;->		  "You have discovered the GEET redistribution commands
;;->   From here, you can use the following options:
;;->
;;->c	Redistribute civs from overfull sectors into connected underfull ones
;;->	  The functions typically named by empire-ideal-civ-fcn control
;;->          based in part on empire-sector-civ-threshold
;;->m	Redistribute military using levels given by empire-ideal-mil-fcn
;;->p	Redistribute excess population to highways for max pop growth
;;->	  Excess is any sector so full babies will not be born.
;;->f	Even out food on highways to highway min and leave levels
;;->	  This is good to pump max food to all warehouses/dist pts
;;->
;;->
;;->Use \\[help-for-empire-redistribute-map] for help on redistribution.
;;->Use \\[help-for-empire-extract-map] for help on data extraction.
;;->Please use \\[describe-key] to find out more about any of the other keys."
