No strangeness: I was just taking it for granted that this resource is well known and in this case off topic as the question was about OpenType/AAT fonts for Tibetan, wheras the Tibetan Language Kit is a Worldscript 8-bit implementation with no smarts in the fonts it uses (The itl5 resource contains the state tables rather than the fonts).

which forms stacking characters based upon single characters.
