I should just point out, as an aside, that the Windows joining is font 
aware. If a certain letter needs to have a left/right join, but the font 
does not have the right glyph, then Windows will use (don't remember the 
details) the right only or left only joined glyph.

Not really relevant to the discussion, but I should point out that 
logical only joining is not full proof.
