See inline for English suggestions. But I'm ignorant of this area, so hopefully someone else will speak to the correct terminology to use - I don't know it. > From: Kenichi Handa Sent: Sunday, June 14, 2009 11:43 PM > +Characters are composed relatively, i.e. composed by overstriking > +or stacking depending on ascent, descent and other metrics values > +of glyphs.

Sounds good. Without that, I understood nothing. Now, I understand a little. Thx.
