1. U+034F CGJ, Combining Grapheme Joiner, is
displayed as a tall rectangle in MSKLCexe-test and as
a capital square in OutlookExpress A͏E a͏e͏a͏e. But
CGJ "has no visible glyph"! Thus CGJ is not
implemented correctly in Arial Unicode MS. Or are the
editors not implemented correctly? Should A+CGJ+E
yield the Danish double letter a+(e-attached) ? Or
do I hope in vain.
Is there a general rule how graphically to join 2
arbitrary characters? Normal tf looks already joined
to me, and causes me problems of recognizing t and f
as distinct letters. (I have astigmatism: cyl -3.0,
which is not that rare) m and rn look the same from
normal reading distance!. Some editors / some fonts
display an m with uneven spacing of legs, which looks
to me as if r+n is written. Any help in planning (you
font-designers)?
2. RLM, the Right to Left marker, seems to have no
effect yet. Hebrew bet+RLM+SPace should leave the
Cursor at Left and not 'jump' to the right of bet as
it does for good or worse for bet+SP. If this is a
correct expectation, then how can I tell (e.g. via
MSKLC.exe) to insert RLM+SPace on CAPS+SPace ?

Is there a new (beta-test) version of the font Arial
Unicode MS where this and other inconsistencies are
repaired? Or do I need newer editor-versions.
I used Outlook eXpress 6.0 to compose this message
and send it via KMail from a Linux-PC
