Fetches a list of the caret positions defined for a ligature glyph in the GDEF table of the font. The list returned will begin at the offset provided.

Note that a ligature that is formed from n characters will have n-1 caret positions. The first character is not represented in the array, since its caret position is the glyph position.

The positions returned by this function are 'unshaped', and will have to be fixed up for kerning that may be applied to the ligature glyph.

#### Parameters

direction | The hb_direction_t text direction to use |
glyph | The hb_codepoint_t code point to query |
start_offset | offset of the first caret position to retrieve |
caret_count | Input = the maximum number of caret positions to return; Output = the actual number of caret positions returned (may be zero). | [inout][optional]
caret_array | The array of caret positions found for the query. | [out][array length=caret_count]

design_size | The design size of the face. | [out]
subfamily_id | The identifier of the face within the font subfamily. | [out]
