  OK, I thought line breaking would be managed in node-*, so I didn't
look in font-otf for it.

  Sure, no need to rush things.

  What do you mean?  How does it take care about the linebreak?  And how
can it be relevant for Chinese characters?  Default Chinese fonts from

you know fonts that have?
