           Summary: Typesetting features need not force complex for
                    single-character runs
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: Text
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: nholbrook at apple.com


The only typesetting features are kerning and ligatures, neither of which applies for a single character. As such, there's no need to spool up the complex text machinery for a single-character run just because the font has typesetting features. This is particularly interesting when hyphenation is enabled.
