Re: ligature usage - WAS: How do we find out what assigned code points aren't normally used in text?

Not necessarily : Uniscribe can place a caret on an approximative
position in the middle of a ligature, but the situation is different
when performing a selection, because it splits the text in separate
runs (with distinct color attributes, even though they are part of the
same "range").

See the terminology of "runs and ranges" in the MSDN documentation,
they are not synonyms and designate different groupings, and are even
different from clusters. They do not group the same thing as well
(ranges are for the character level, runs are for the glyph level and
have no meaning in Unicode)
