In addition to their inherent complexity, Indic scripts allow for variations in orthography, script grammar, and even letter forms. These variations follow patterns and can be observed through recording user preferences, but also looking at literary standards. I look at some instances where user preferences and expectations reveal these patterns, beyond establishing basic script support.

Highlighting the flexibility of script presentation can help in developing better fonts and overall language experience.
