I meant *glyph* properties. Oops! The incompatibility of Linear Tamil in its current form is not with Unicode, technically; it is with the existing mechanisms of shaping engines used by Apple, Microsoft, and others. It would be fine for systems that have no such shaping engines to use fonts designed with Linear Tamil in mind, but at some point the decision for a system as to whether to support shaping in fonts or in GDI is "six of one, half a dozen of other other" and there is no specific benefit to ignoring the support that exists on a system and replacing it with one's own font-based system.
