My experience suggests otherwise.  In our day-to-day technical support for 
Keyman, up until the latest release, a large proportion of our technical 
support queries revolved around incorrect shaping -- ahead of "square boxes".  
In the latest release we cut this support load dramatically by including a 
licensed private version of usp10.dll (Uniscribe shaping engine) along with a 
management program that dynamically loads and translates calls from the system 
usp10 to our private one for consistent shaping in all applications.  This was 
of course a particular issue in South and South East Asia.
