Three versions of 'ambiguous East Asian width'! I trust these have
been checked against Microsoft Word.
I note that, amongst others, the characters of the Thai, New Tai Lue
block, and the supplementary planes do not get categorised - if the
final table Word table (dated 2012-03-21) be correct. However, it
does seems startling that there are no characters that are 'complex
script' in Word! I had been about to ask if certain assigned characters
have undefined rendering, but it seems highly unlikely that that should
be the case for Thai. (Of course, it may be that Thai characters
always occur in Word WordprocessingML runs with the <w:cs/> property.)
Richard.
