If that is really the case, then yes it doesn’t matter. I know nearly nothing about CJK typesetting and fonts, but I see features like “cpct”, “fwid”, “halt”, “hwid”, etc. I even recall seeing that “kern” and “mark” used in some fonts as well. > On the other hand, I have just remembered one interaction: a pan-CJK > font such as Source Han Sans / Noto Sans CJK will have variant forms of > the kanji for Chinese, Japanese and Korean.

Depending on the font, if you didn’t select the right script, selecting the language will have no effect. > So if pushed I would say Kana, just in case. But it really shouldn't matter. _______________________________________________ HarfBuzz mailing list [email protected] https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/harfbuzz
