skia without icu ?

[Michael Katz]

I am building Skia with vcpkg but I'm having trouble getting the icu dependency to build. See https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/issues/32020. However, by removing icu as a dependency from Skia's vcpkg.json file, I was able to get Skia to build correctly.

By removing icu, what Skia functionality am I giving up? In my application, I would like to be able to draw strings, but I don't need any complicated layout functionality. Without icu will I be able to draw strings at all? Will I be able to draw strings that contain non-ASCII characters?

In general, anything involving text shaping (layout) probably won't work correctly, or with only limited functionality. It seems like the easiest thing to do would be to test it yourself, though.
