The thing that makes me wonder is that all these typographical features should be easily supported by a WYSIWYG editor. From my perspective all it would take would be for Microsoft to buy some professional grade fonts and to put a couple of developers on the problem.
None of this seems like it's inherently incompatible with the WYSIWYG workflow.
Am I overlooking something here?
