Hi Tor,
thanks for the hint, the wiki page is very useful for understanding.
So I think I should not talk about latin in this context, just
about complex and non complex scripts.
Regards,
Christian.

position.
There seems to be some terminological confusion in this thread.
Surely there are lots of non-Latin scripts where characters don't use different
glyphs depending on position. Greek,
Cyrillic, for instance.
As far as I know not East Asian ideographs either use different glyphs
depending on their position in sentences. It's
the complex scripts like Arabic, Hebrew and the Indic scripts where this
happens. Chinese is usually not called a
complex script. It just has a huge number of characters. (See
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_script )
