>P.S. You might also want to look at "Unicode and Glyph Names"
http://partners.adobe.com/asn/developer/typeforum/unicodegn.html
which sets out a system for naming glyphs in Type 1 (PS) fonts according to the
Unicode values of the corresponding characters. According to this system you
could put a j-macron glyph in a Type 1 font and give it the glyph name
uni006A0304. The idea seems to be that PostScript type
rasterizers, including ATM, will be able to parse this glyph name
and "know" that the character sequence U+006A,U+0304 (j, non-spacing macron)
should be rendered using this glyph.
>This scheme allows for naming glyphs that represent combinations of up to seven
Unicode characters. It seems a lot easier to make a type-1 font with composite
glyphs named like this than it is to create a complex OpenType font with proper
GSUB tables etc.
And how is this scheme to deal with reordering in Devanagari?
