[jira] [Commented] (FOP-2355) Issues with stacking of diacritics while trying to render PDFs in Thai language

Some of these diacritics can be in the same area like above the character. If there are two diacritics they are stacked one on top of the other. Thus the position of the diacritics depends on the shape of the consonat (some consonants are taller) and whether there are other diacritics together. Sometimes a piece of the character is removed altogether to make room for the vowel. I don't know much about TrueType but my understanding is that in fonts like AriaUnicodeMS this information is in GSUB and GPOS tables. Diacritics have there own Unicode mappings, but these fonts also provide alternate forms to cope with the different positions of the diacritics. For example, The MAI THO tonemark in ArialUnicodeMS has unicode code U0E49 and corresponds to the high right position, UF714 is the same character at the high left position, UF70B the low right position and UF706 the low left position. The right glyph need to be chosen depending on the consonant and other diacritics associated with the same consonant.
