Description hdu@apache.org 2007-12-06 12:38:14 UTC 
Some unicode context of a portion is required for proper shaping, but unneeded context slows down the 
formatting code. So some balance has to be found. I suggest an API like
   int OutputDevice::GetMinShapingContext( LanguageType ) const;

Unless this enhancement is implemented the heuristic already used should suffice: Six codepoints for CTL 
scripts (also see issue 84305 and issue 78749 for more suggestions).
