  25 <p>
  26       In contrast to OpenType shaping, Graphite shaping does not
  27       specify a predefined set of shaping models or a set of supported
  28       scripts.
  29     </p>
  30 <p>
  31       Instead, each Graphite font contains a complete set of rules that
  32       implement the required shaping model for the intended
  33       script. These rules include finite-state machines to match
  34       sequences of codepoints to the shaping operations to perform.
  35     </p>
  36 <p>
  37       Graphite shaping can perform the same shaping operations used in
  38       OpenType shaping, as well as other functions that have not been
  39       defined for OpenType shaping.
