It uses *lots* of multiple (ligature-type) substitutions, sprinkled
with some context-based substitutions, and some single substitutions
in multiple ccmp tables (some tables are class-based, some glyph
based). It's unlike any of the simple stuff that Adobe or other fonts
do. I wonder how they maintain all that... Does anyone know if they
have their own production tools?
You should visit SIL's site (or read the bit of our wiki that talks
about foundries). Those guys are serious about i18n and they use all
the tricks in the book to manage it. They even have their own smart
font tech, graphite. Adobe really does not play in the same space.
