[EXTERNAL] Re: Zawgyi Tonemarks in Latin Script

[Andrew Glass]

Hi James,

If you want the glyph rearrangement to occur, please use the mym2 tag. The mymr tag is a legacy tag for pre-shaping Myanmar Unicode fonts such as Myanmar 3 which do their own reordering.

Cheers,

Andrew

I used Code2000 Version 1.172, but it also has the older script tag "myan".  Font Validator shows the "myan" tag as valid, but thanks to your pointer I checked the OpenType specs and will be changing the tag to "mymr" for the next release.
