I appreciate quite interesting report! >To illustrate the above findings, attached is the screenshot showing three >different cases of hinted Indic text: > >1. hinted indic text using latin module since default script is latin >2. hinted indic text using cjk based indic module and default script as >latin >3. hinted indic text using cjk based indic module and default script as >cjk/indic Taking a glance on the pictures, the significant difference is found in hangling baseline. By latin module, the position of baseline is varied. By CJK/Indic module, the position is almost constant. If you have more characteristic difference to be focused, please let me know. I guess CJK/Indic module can tune the hanging baseline in Bengali, Gurumkhi and Tibetan scripts well. Although hanging baseline is important feature for Indic script, some Indic scripts have no hanging baseline. Oriya, Telugu and Kannada scripts have some marks to be aligned, so CJK/Indic module might be better, I guess. But I cannot guess about Gujarati, Tamil, Malayalam, Sinhala (and South-East-Asian) scripts.
