You've been warned.] Thanks for the explanation. It is no problem to create a couple of language dependent feature sets (so called language specifics) where we map for instance the diaeresis glyphs onto umlaut or other ones; same for aring. something like: \let\adiaerisis\aumlaut depending on the language. We need to do this for your languages as well as german and/or others. At the same time (to pick up an old idea) we can make a manual which explains such language specific typographic features (also think of spacing issues). For that i need decent (non offending) pieces of text for testing and demonstrating things. How about that?
