If I understand the OpenType standard properly, it is supposed to do most of this automatically (it seems to in some applications, but I am not sure whether it is the font or the application doing the work). The question may actually become how to turn it off if you don't want it. See Section 7.8.1 for a discussion of how this ties in with XSL-FO. This is one reason why I am working on trying to get our font support upgraded to handle at least OpenType fonts that are registered at the O/S level (see the "fonts" thread over the past few days). In the meantime, and for other font types, I suppose a lot of this could be done with some regular expression preprocessing -- it might even be possible to do this within the parser or XSLT transformer.
