No strangeness: I was just taking it for granted that this resource
is well known and in this case off topic as the question was about
OpenType/AAT fonts for Tibetan, wheras the Tibetan Language Kit is a
Worldscript 8-bit implementation with no smarts in the fonts it uses
(The itl5 resource contains the state tables rather than the fonts).
