| The ligatured group will go somewhere in the ligature zone. But where exactly ? It can stand in the middle of the area, or stick to one of its sides. In fact, the behaviour of the layout algorithm is not always the same. In {{http://jsesh.qenherkhopeshef.org/files_jsesh/images/w_and_t.png}}, the "w" tends to fit on the bottom left of the rectangular area. In {{http://jsesh.qenherkhopeshef.org/files_jsesh/images/Hm_kA.png}}, the U36 sign is more or less centered, both horizontally and vertically. JSesh allows signs authors to design the behaviour of "ligature zones", in the following way. Remember the label of the previous paragraph?

Nederhof's RES, and avoid the use of "left" and "right", which are not really usable for hieroglyphs!).
