--- Comment #14 from Mike Kaganski <mikekagan...@hotmail.com> --- There is nothing like "language group" property of character or paragraph. The "language group" is just some artificial construct, very problematic itself, which should be dropped completely at some point if possible, and not increased in presence by all means. No, there's no need to add it here; setting the language, or explicitly setting direction and font, should be enough. The problem that the "language group" tries to solve comes from not all fonts having all glyphs; and even though there already are *some* fonts with ~wide coverage (of questionable quality for different scripts), they are still not predominant, hence the styles include three fonts for respective groups, allowing each style choose respective font with (supposedly) existing glyphs whenever the script/language is matching that group (so you have a chimera three-piece metafont, with specific glyphs coming from one of the three fonts). This one should be WF; and overall, we definitely need better *concept* for handling of this complex issue - but the current state is based on (1) state of the art - fonts have imperfect coverage; (2) legacy (we must support existing documents having those synthetic metafonts, both in our native formats, and in external formats using the same concept). IMO, this could only improve *much later*, when (1) is improved greatly (not something we can change). -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
