that the new features in xetex do not in any way enforce a
particular way of writing (for Urdu or anything else). The
inter-word spacing is primarily under the control of the font
designer; \XeTeXinterwordspaceshaping merely makes it possible for
xetex to more accurately follow what the font designer specified.

IIRC, the Wikipedia feature Download as PDF uses some sort of TeX
engine to create the PDFs. For such a usage (assuming XeTeX, and
where the author of the macros used does not know the content of the
text being typeset) would setting \XeTeXinterwordspaceshaping = 2 be
recommended? If the font does not take advantage of
\XeTeXinterwordspaceshaping, would then setting
\XeTeXinterwordspaceshaping have no effect? That is, could
\XeTeXinterwordspaceshaping be enabled all the time, rather than
being enabled only if the font would make use of that setting?<br>
