I have always wondered whether MS makes decisions re changes to OT specs unilaterally (or just by consulting some people at Adobe) or whether they they actually discuss this on publicly accessible mailing lists beforehand or at least consult OSS implementors of OT like Behdad, Jonathan Kew etc? I hope it's not as if they alone make the decision and the OSS world has to follow suite because due to the fragmentation in open-source OT engines (which HB-NG is intended to resolve) these have no voice... I see Behdad raising Unicode-property related issues on the Unicore list, but of course he's present there courtesy Google IIUC, but I'm not sure if he is consulted by MS before these changes are made. -- Shriramana Sharma _______________________________________________ HarfBuzz mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/harfbuzz
