Hi,

Are there any examples of issues in text layout and processing of African scripts that anyone would like to bring up as a starter for discussion?  There is a general issue of directionality that affects such scripts as ADLaM, N'ko, 'Ajami, Garay, and Mende Kikakui in particular.  A draft W3C document has been made available that discusses some of the ins and outs of handling directionality here:  http://www.w3.org/TR/string-meta/
