use harfbuzz directly (to handle Unicode complex text rendering)

Description
Please describe the problem: When the correct Unicode text is copied from the Wikipedia edit box (Of http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hindi&action=edit for example, pick the devanagari for the word Hindi) and pasted into the terminal, it gets mangled since complex text support is not respected as needed for Hindi and many other Asian languages. If I recall, previous versions of Gnome-terminal did not have this problem.
Steps to reproduce:
- Open Gnome-terminal
- Paste in Unicode text that needs complex text rendering
- Text will be mangled
Actual results: Text is mangled
Expected results: Text would read correctly according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_text_rendering rules.
Does this happen every time? Yes
Other information: I'll try attaching a screenshot if I can, if not I've attached one to the Ubuntu launchpad bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/381429
