You can apply a character style directly to a non-joiner. It's only if you try to do it with a nested style that it fails. Apparently the nested style logic ignores non-joiner characters.

I just tried to apply negative tracking to a non-joiner using a nested style applied to one character (I was hoping to find another way to get at Klaus's Myriad head problem from another topic) and the style was applied not to the non joiner but to the character after it.

But: "our romantic-based languages" -- umm, isn't "roman-based" the mostest rightest word here? I didn’t know about this little obscurity at all, so thanks for shedding light on it!
