FreeType is the wrong place for support of the BASE OpenType feature. Please check whether HarfBuzz (or ICU) does what you need.

Please add support for the BASE OpentType feature, especially the 'hang' type. I've gathered some resources about it on

https://github.com/eroux/otf-base-hang

and the bug report of LibreOffice at

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=104930

contains a font with a hang BASE table for testing.

I'm not entirely sure this is the best place to ask for this feature, as I'm not entirely sure how the different elements of the layout interact with each other. Please close if not relevant.
