New page: Typesetting Engine Recommendations #111

Open davelab6 opened 4 years ago

Here when XTUC is used, it shifted the baseline. This suggests a new page with recommendations for typesetting engines and apps is needed so that they properly expose parametric axes

Thanks for the pointer. I think the baseline was stable for YTUC, but bull-shifted when YTAS busted out the top of the em.

Base table ignorance + the inability to register y axes are clear indication, to me, that developers are not at all ready for ANY vertical changes to ANY script of ANY design for ANY reason whatsoever, INCLUDING even if it means huge file compression.
