The most annoying bug is explained here:

It shouldn't be the case, no. There are some simplifications in the
code, but there should be no such things. Do you have an example of a
regression?

If you talk about gh which used to produce the same as g+h, this is, in
my opinion quite wrong, as there is no such thing in the EWTS
descrption. This is explained in the commits I believe.

This character is an equivalent of 0FB2+0F80 (see
http://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U0F00.pdf), and there is no shortcut
for it in EWTS; the point, as before, is to respect the standard more...

Thank you,
