I'd love to have support for HarfBuzz... I'm currently experimenting with it but the plan is that our own graphic devices (e.g. https://github.com/r-lib/ragg) will depend on it.
The experiment currently lives in https://github.com/r-lib/stringshaper which has harfbuzz in its SystemRequirements. I would guess that the capitalised spelling should be supported as well (HarfBuzz)

The textshaping package is now on CRAN. It would be great if both HarfBuzz and Fribidi could be detected. What is the best way to move this forward? If needed I can attempt a PR

@thomasp85 do you have enough to go off of based on the docs and examples to create a PR with a rule?

I can try at least 🙂
