So true, really. Twenty years ago, I was swearing (figuratively) at a CP/M-based computer with a twitchy 7-bit text-markup-based typesetting system which was like TeX's retarded little brother that couldn't even cope with more than nine fonts (as in bitmap fonts, meaning every different family and size and weight and style was a different source font!) in a single document, and now I have access to software a zillion times better and I bitch because it doesn't automatically line up two Unicode characters from different languages in a precisely aesthetically pleasing way? Seriously, talk about spoiled, eh?
I really, really, really need to make that typography icon for myself.
