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.
That mapping is the only mapping that needs to be handled.
Presuming that the glyphs can be identified and all the patterns that each
glyph supports can be identified, all that is needed is to map those glyphs to
their unicode equivalent. That then will create a directional, transitive
relationship A ===> B ===> C, such that A ===> C.
I think the real difficulty is that a non-technical solution is being sought
for a technical problem. What was originally presented was: How do I create an
interlinear? That wasn't the problem at all.
