Then what are they used for? > Cursor movement should work according to the UAX#29. OK fine, but still the Tamil issue applies, as the above standard reads: """Indic scripts vary considerably in how they handle the rendering of such aksaras—in some cases stacking them up into combined forms known as consonant conjuncts, and in other cases stringing them out horizontally, with visible renditions of the halant on each consonant in the sequence. There is even greater variability in how the typical liquid consonants (or "medials"), ya, ra, la, and wa, are handled for display in combinations in aksaras. So tailorings for aksaras may need to be script-, language-, font-, or context-specific to be useful.""" "stringing out horizontally with visible renditions of the halant on each consonant in the sequence" applies to Tamil. Hence tailoring is necessary. -- Shriramana Sharma _______________________________________________ HarfBuzz mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/harfbuzz
