For instance, the Latin alphabet or Chinese characters can be typeset by simply displaying each character one after another in straight rows or columns. Yes, exceptions are mentioned, like cursive writing, that you mentioned yourself. But the basic statement remains that CTL does not normally occur in the Latin alphabet (that English is usually rendered in - if you want to render English in Devanagari, you will have to deal with CTL!) | |
