All punctuation classified into 4- they all locate at left bottom corner; full???half??????center??
??1. Full ?? - ??????full??
       ??????????????????——2???/?????
??Force the punctuation have same widith to a Chinese Character
??2. Half ?? - ??????half??
       ??????????????????——1???/?????
??Force the punctuation have half of the widith to a Chinese Character

??3???
?? Except period ???question mark ???exclamation ??? occupy full?all else occupy half
???????????????????????
?? when multiple Chinese Punctuation join together, those in front forced half
???????????????????
????????????? ——? the "?"use half
?????? ——Question Mark use half
???????? ——First 3 exclamation use half, the last one use full
???
??4?Center
??All punctuations in center of full Chinese character- like traditional Chinese

?. Line-start and Line-end ????????????
??
       1. Avoid any punctutations at line-start

??2. when line-end not enough for a punctuation(even half)?or the punctuation is one avoiding line-start/line-end
??? WPS will force the line-end punctuation to next line and use justify space between characters in current line.
Wps?????????????????????????????????????

??? Microsoft Office Word: first try to shorten same line punctations.
????????????????try to let a space for it ????????????????????
??? Founder use similar method with wps, ???????????????????????????????????????
??Example:
??? Normally, line-end have half a Chinese character widith, with a full-stop.
???wps push the last character and full-stop to next line, then lack of 1.5 character space. Justify.
??? Word or Founder will directly place the full-stop there.
??? As the normal order, when line-end left no space at all.
??? Wps????????
    WPS keep pushing down 1 character and the punctutation to next line
??? Word????????????????????????????????? M$ word keep compress space of the other punctutations in this line( result in less space than "full")

??? ???wps?????????????????????????????????????????
    Founder have similar behaviour to WPS, pushing to next line.
    
??? ?????????????????????????
In normal order, the line-last have

General Rules In Current Chinese Desktop Publishing Typography


Characters
Chinese Character width 2 Latin characters, and they are individually consider as words rather than characters.
Mixture of Chinese and other
As Chinese characters are independent to others, so normally there is a gap between La/Num/Symbol and Chinese Character; its often about 1/4 Chinese character width.
Punctuation out of concerns here, neither FULL nor HALF have gap between them and La/Num/Symbol.


Punctuations
Chinese punctuation use same width as Characters called in FULL, if width equal to non-Chinese character is called in HALF.

Chinese punctuation are not appearing in very beginning of a paragraph and mostly forbidden to starting a line.
Compressing Space for Punctuations
When a line come to the end with no space for a punctuation in FULL, then we prefer to make the punctuation in HALF or even no space for HALF then move the last word to next line.
When multiple punctuations are close one another, then only the last one in FULL, else in HALF.

Subject: add basic font fallback support

This is a basic font fallback support feature. Right now, it takes one
font but in future it may takes more than one font. Fallback font is not
saved in scribus format, thus once you set fallback font, missing
faces's font style will change.
