In order to spec the Edge behavior, we'd need a clear way to define how characters (codepoints) get grouped into layout units. And it would need to be something that can be un-ambiguously defined solely by the character content, not based on a font. (Because we wouldn't want the assignment of layout attributes to characters to vary according to which font is used.) Does the ["typographic character"](https://drafts.csswg.org/css-text-3/#typographic-character-unit) term as defined in CSS 3 & referenced in SVG 2 meet that requirement? Or does it also include font-specific groupings such as ligatures? @Tavmjong @fantasai Maybe it would be better to directly reference Unicode character classes, e.g. to specify that combining/modifier codepoints get skipped over when assigning layout characters. The result might not be as smart about language-sensitive groupings, but it would be more clearly testable for consistent results between user agents. -- GitHub Notification of comment by AmeliaBR Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/svgwg/issues/537#issuecomment-418185680 using your GitHub account
