As you go on to say, > I'm not aware of any such font at the moment Browser engines need to be able to do the right thing for tone marks whether or not the font had such info in it. Also, tone mark positioning isn't like other optional font features like ligatures. Their position isn't stylistic. Have you tried WebKit's implementation of this recently? I'd love to get feedback on our tone mark positioning. Ted
