With outline fonts (TrueType Fonts, etc.), characters cannot be displayed using the font file alone.
It is necessary to have rasterizer software that rasterizes the font data into character images.
The Layout Engine takes the rasterizer-generated individual character images and puts them in character strings.
It can also do a variety of processing such as adjusting character and line spacing and rotating character strings.
This software is necessary to correctly display languages with complex writing rules (Arabic, Thai, etc.).
