Description Jonathan Clark 2025-06-30 12:25:02 UTC 
After fixing bug 166011, we now have layout support for script type hinting. We should build upon this feature to implement the OOXML w:hint attribute.

Support for w:hint is necessary in order to correctly emulate the OOXML two-step algorithm for font slot character classification. See ECMA-376-1:2016 17.3.2.26 for more information about that algorithm.
