How far away is a future in which precomposed characters built of letters and diacritical marks are no longer in fonts because they’re all composed on the fly with mark-to-base and mark-to-mark? Will we soon hit a point at which users can enter arbitrary mark combinations without having to input the combining versions marks which are not accessible from most keyboard layouts? It seems like browser developers are moving in this direction, but what about the rest of the software and OS world?
