International typography

The default assumption in every other skill is Latin script. That assumption is wrong for most of the world's readers, and it fails in ways that are invisible to a monolingual reviewer.

1. When to invoke

• Any product supporting a non-Latin script, now or planned.
• Bidirectional text (Arabic, Hebrew) mixed with Latin.
• CJK, Indic, Thai, or vertical writing.
• Layout breaking after localisation.
• Building a font stack that must cover several scripts.

Always co-load for any non-English or multi-script product.
