While the reversal is not always possible, I think Peter's observation is
correct, if I understood the thread at all.
Today, the legacy encoding has a custom TTF font that displays the text
perfectly. Someone had to create that font and that font maps from the text to
the glyphs.

Your underlying assumption is questionable.
As with transliteration - in general it's not always true that the

list of all "corner cases" and check for these.
Essentially there are x characters in the former version, which combine i

Here's a more detailed list of requirements from my friend (who's a volunteer
for MissionAssist).

Do you know of any program that will load two text files (plain text or Word
