Checking and Setting Script Variables

Each enabled script system maintains a set of variables that control the current settings of that script system, including the ID numbers of its international resources, its preferred fonts and font sizes, and its primary line direction.

You may want access to the script variables in order to conform to the script's current settings or to modify them. The GetScriptVariable function retrieves the values of the script variables, and the SetScriptVariable function sets their values. (The variables themselves are private and you cannot access them directly.) When you call either routine, you use a selector to describe the variable that interests you. The integer constants for all defined GetScriptVariable/SetScriptVariable selectors are described on page 6-65.
