- Graphite is a system that can be used to create "smart fonts" capable
- of displaying writing systems with various complex behaviors. A smart
- font contains not only letter shapes but also additional instructions
- indicating how to combine and position the letters in complex ways.
- Graphite was primarily developed to provide the flexibility needed for
- minority languages which often need to be written according to slightly
- different rules than well-known languages that use the same script.
