Hello, After one of the replies that I received for my previous question, I thought of a more general question about how glyph shaping is done. I'm just wondering, when a Unicode rendering program is doing glyph shaping for Arabic (or any other language with similar properties), would the program first convert all Unicode Arabic characters in the 06XX domain into Arabic presentation forms in the FXXX domain, and then render each one of these presentation forms one by one and join them together? Or are there other possible ways to do glyph shaping in Unicode?
So does this mean that every character rendered on the screen in a Unicode-enabled program such as Internet Explorer or some editor, have a corresponding presentation form Unicode associated to it? Thanks, Mete
