Additionally, I will only do OT features that are absolutely necessary for a 
certain script, not unnecessary (although stylish!) features, e.g. I will 
include things like mark positioning and init/medi/fina forms for Arabic, while 
leaving out small caps, swashes, and extensive ligatures. (In an earlier post, 
I might have said I’ll do ALL of the possible OT features. If so, I misspoke.)
But if the cry for space gets REALLY desperate, I’ll merge identical glyphs 
into one glyph. Obviously, I won’t do this for more problematic merges, only 
glyphs in similar scripts with similar features. (e.g. I would represent Latin 
small letter o, Greek small letter omicron, Cyrillic small letter o, Armenian 
letter oh, and Georgian labial sign with one glyph, while Hebrew letter samekh 
and Arabic letter ae, despite also being circular, would be two separate 
glyphs.) But I’ll only do this if I really need to.
