Jonathan Clark <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] Ever confirmed|0 |1 Status|UNCONFIRMED |NEW --- Comment #13 from Jonathan Clark <[email protected]> --- There are many characters that are common to multiple script groups. Currently, we assign characters to script groups using a hard-coded algorithm. It's not possible to make a perfect algorithm, so we get it wrong: sometimes in ways we can hack around (e.g. bug 112594), and sometimes in ways we can't (e.g. bug 66791). For legacy/compatibility reasons, many characters that should be treated as common are also hard-coded as Western characters, which forces CJK and CTL language users to care about Western scripts while proofing even though they aren't really using them. Explicit language runs would give users control over the behavior of these ambiguous characters. This is a missing but much-needed escape hatch for users working outside of the Western script group happy path. I am therefore marking this bug new. Using explicit language runs to disambiguate script groups would also be a good MVP for this feature. It would be useful on its own, and per-language style features could build upon those changes. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
