One of the things I would like to look at in the next round of OFF 
improvements is the possibility of script and language specific vertical 
metrics, i.e. variances to the OS/2 Typo metrics using the OTL script 
and language system tags, such that software could provide more 
appropriate linespacing for different writing systems covered in the 
same font.

The criminologist's definition of 'public order
crimes' comes perilously close to the historian's
description of 'working-class leisure-time activity.'
