The actual value of HB_OT_MAX_TAGS_PER_SCRIPT shouldn't matter much, if it changes the worst that can happen is that you miss one of the possible tags. If you're concerned about possibly missing a tag then check if the returned count is greater than when it was passed in, reserve some more space, and call again. See documentation at [1]. Note that the documentation uses the term 'tags retrieved' to mean all possible tags (not capped by the original count passed in).

is HB_OT_MAX_TAGS_PER_SCRIPT a frozen value? I am worried about that change which breaks harfbuzz or freetype or both, when the compiled-time header is not the same as a runtime versions. (i.e. you build freetype, then upgrade harfbuzz, or vice versa).

Behdad, perhaps you can take a comment on whether the attached patch makes sense.

HarfBuzz is deprecating hb_ot_tags_from_script in
https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzz/commit/8061664ad1a5933098adc3bc1dca0b5be48586ef

Consider changing the call to to hb_ot_tags_from_script with hb_ot_tags_from_script_and_language, similar to attached patch.
