That really depends on the rendering engine. AAT can handle it without too much difficulty (or, at least, the mathematical equivalent).

Either I have not made myself clear or my understanding of the rendering process is even less than I thought. Perhaps I should have said "glyph" rather than "character". But the real point is that I am suggesting some kind of flag which could be preserved from outputting on glyph to outputting the next, on the lines of "the last glyph I output was a vowel" or "... a consonant" - with "vowel" or "consonant" defined simply as one of a particular list of glyphs or combinations. Is that possible, or is the rendering engine unable to preserve any kind of state from glyph to glyph?
