Glyphs with larger weight are allocated a correspondingly larger amount of the change in space. Priority determines the justification phase in which this glyph is used. All glyphs of the same priority are examined before glyphs of the next priority. If all the change in space can be allocated to these glyphs without exceeding their limits, then glyphs of the next priority are not examined. There are four priorities, kashida, whitespace, interchar, and none.
NONE is the last priority examined.
Absorb determines whether a glyph absorbs all change in space. Within a given priority, some glyphs may absorb all the change in space. If any of these glyphs are present, no glyphs of later priority are examined. Limit determines the maximum or minimum amount by which the glyph can change. Left and right sides of the glyph can have different limits.
