For example, the location where the reph and pre-pended matra are re-ordered within a syllable cluster is affected by the presence of a half form. The new Indic shaping engine allows for variations in typographic conventions, giving a font developer control over shaping by the choice of designation of glyphs to certain OpenType features. In addition, registered features of the Bengali script are defined and illustrated with examples. While it does not contain instructions for creating Bengali fonts, it will help font developers understand how the Indic shaping engine processes Indic text. It contains information about terminology, font features and behavior of the Indic shaping engine in regards to the Bengali script. This document targets developers implementing Indic shaping behavior compatible with Microsoft OpenType specification for Indic scripts. The Bengali script, closely related to the Devanagari script, is used to write Bengali, Assamese and Manipuri. This document presents information that will help font developers create or support OpenType fonts for all Bengali script languages covered by the Unicode Standard. While Indic fonts made according to the earlier recommendations will still function properly in the new versions of Uniscribe, font developers may choose to update their fonts, particularly if they wish to avoid certain limitations of the earlier implementation. Please note: This document reflects the changes made in 2005 recommendations for Indic-script OpenType font and shaping-engine implementations.
