I should just point out, as an aside, that the Windows joining is font
aware. If a certain letter needs to have a left/right join, but the font
does not have the right glyph, then Windows will use (don't remember the
details) the right only or left only joined glyph.
Not really relevant to the discussion, but I should point out that
logical only joining is not full proof.
