+#    HarfBuzz_INCLUDE_DIRS - HarfBuzz include directories
+#    HarfBuzz_LIBRARIES - The libraries needed to use HarfBuzz
+#    HarfBuzz_VERSION_STRING - the version of HarfBuzz found
+#
+# Example Usage:
+#
+# ::
+#
+#     find_package(HarfBuzz REQUIRED)
+#     include_directories(${HarfBuzz_INCLUDE_DIRS})
+#
+# ::
+#
+#     add_executable(foo foo.cc)
