This is a pretty specialized feature, likely to be interest only to a
small minority of users. But for those it concerns, here's something
that is "coming soon to a XeTeX near you"...
I've recently implemented a new feature, controlled by the integer
parameter \XeTeXinterwordspaceshaping.

Hi Jonathan,I suppose not everyone have a chance to build and try this yet. By
any chance you can provide a PDF test case demonstrating the feature? Then
perhaps more people can comment.- Jiang

Hi Jonathan,
the Urdu sample looks good to me. Could you try to typeset just آگرہ? This
word looks quite bad in many fonts but it might be nice in Awami (at least

Currently, this feature is implemented only in the "contextual-space"
branch of the code at sourceforge; anyone interested in testing it will
need to check out and build the code from there.
I have tried to build a binary for win32:

Reportedly the problems have been patched in version 1.3.5 of Graphite2.
But the version of xetex I'm using (3.14159265-2.6-0.99
Will the next TeX Live distro's version of xetex use >= v.1.3.5?
Yes, TeX Live 2016 will use Graphite2-version >= 1.3.5.
