But that is not Nastaliq specific (Arabic Typesetting uses cursive
attachments extensively too, my Naskh font uses them occasionally as
well). So, any sufficiently complex font will have issues with such
engines, Nastaliq or not.

It does not, really. And this is not relevant to a discussion about
XeTeX.

It does not, real
I didnot say it's Nastaleeq-specific, or exclusive to Nastaleeq. But Nastaleeq
is possibly the most relevant script variant that heavily relies on cursive
attachment in OpenType.

AFAIK only protusion. I doubt that expansion is possible with XeTeX.

It's just as with DVI output. (I presume DVI and XDV must be related somehow.)

LuaTeX itself has a documentation. The font loader code used by
context and luaotfload is the problem.

Hello.
I would certainly try to contribute financially (though now isn't the best
time!) for someone (or a team) to develop a 'custom kerning' feature that
would allow XeTeX users to add to and modify the kerning pairs of a font
without actually intervening in the font, with a rubric like this

I answering this as it goes for any software project.
Those papers are nice and can help in general understanding, but
they are to be of real use to a real programmer. Furthermore,
if the are really relevant than then should be part of the source code
distribution.

Hello,
I have read all these messages and frankly I think we need less
talking and more coding. If anyone has the knowledge, the time
and the energy to get involved, that would help greatly the
project. Personally, I would like to help, but I have to wait
until Autumn: in the summer one cann

Hi All,
No, Apostolos is right.
Things got a little to OT.
I apologize. I will next time listen to my inner feelings.
