Here are the slides of my 2004 Unicode Conference talk.  See page 16 for example:

  * In the slides, I've used color to highlight letters, while preserving shaping:

  * In the print version, I've used bold font to do the same:

Surely not the most typographically correct way to do it.  But anything other
than preserving joining would have been just wrong.

And attached is a sample from Pango with one letter using a bold font.  Same
comment as above applies.
