1 Supports diacritic placement as well as right- and left-stem tone contours
2 There is an improvement in rendering to 3 diacritics with CGJ
3 Bug fixed: see “Combining mark sequences may be incorrectly rendered”.
4 This version, and later, supports shaping of Arabic Extended characters (U+0750..U+076D)
5 There is a bug in the Uniscribe that ships with Vista and Office 2007. If you use fully decomposed text that includes multiple combining marks on a base, you may get hit by this. Vista is failing to render text in some cases. The failing text is always a full (though not always canonically ordered) decomposition of a Unicode composite (where the decomposition is of length greater than 2) followed by a space (more generally, it may be that any whitespace will fail). In Latin there are 114 such characters, all of which have exactly 3 characters in their NFD. This was fixed in SP1.
