TFW you have spent a couple of decades using ROM and MOL langsys substitutions to force the comma-like diacritic form for Şş and Ţţ, and encouraging others to do likewise, and then meet a Moldavian book designer who tells you a) that the cedilla form was historically common, and b) she wants to use the cedilla form but can’t because of heavy-handed font behaviour.
Time to stop forcing this and respect user text encoding? Or use ss feature to reverse langsys default?
