Miscellaneous questions and suggestions about list of topics

[mostafah]

I’m opening this issue to discuss the ideas and questions about current state of the document.

• Should we also cover the problem of glyph overlap when we talk about joining? Arabic glyphs overlap when they join and this shows itself when applying filters like opacity to a word. The preferred behavior probably is to unify the glyph paths before applying these filters to them.
• Another joining issue that is important in some educational contexts is to style a specific character of a word without breaking its joining.
• Font size is not the only property that could be discussed about mixing scripts (in the line about Font and Typographical considerations). Line height and baseline shift are as important.
• The topic of numbering is repeated in different sections and is in fact a requirement for a lot of them. Can we have a unified place in the document that covers numbering in detail and refer to it from other parts like page numbers and lists?

@mostafah, would you mind breaking this into four separate issues, and provide example images to open up the discussion?

We now have issues #3, #4, #5, and #6 instead of this.
