I hope you mean the rendering engine's intelligence. The fonts I work with
(Type 1 and Truetype) aren't very intelligent in that regard, at least with
the font creation tools I use: they insist on a 1:1 character:glyph
mapping, and in Truetype those characters are reasonably assumed to be in a
Unicode table.
