26 In contrast to OpenType shaping, AAT shaping does not specify a
27 predefined set of shaping models or a set of supported scripts.
30 Instead, each AAT font includes a complete set of rules that
31 implement the desired shaping model for the intended
32 script. These rules include finite-state machines to match glyph
33 sequences and the shaping operations to perform.
36 Notably, AAT shaping rules are expressed for glyphs in the font,
37 not for Unicode codepoints. AAT shaping can perform the same
38 shaping operations used in OpenType shaping, as well as other
39 functions that have not been defined for OpenType shaping.
