On the other hand, a change of font, or a change of size in the same font, seems to make joining across the change very difficult technically. It would be quite extraordinary that letters from two fonts crafted by different designers join properly. > If the technical hurdle is such that there is little chance that implementations will overcome it, then it might be better to pronounce that there will be no joining across font or size changes. I disagree. Joining should NOT be broken even if font changes. Using a bold font to highlight a letter in print is a valid use. It's hard. But the alternative is wrong. Whether user uses a different font weight or a different color to highlight shouldn't affect the correctness of the script behavior. -- behdad http://behdad.org/
