# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Arabic Calligraphy: Setting Arabic letter by letter as if it were Latin breaks the joins, and the word stops being readable long before it stops being beautiful.
# - Persian Miniature: Converting the multiple viewpoints into single-point perspective collapses the space and destroys the picture's ability to narrate simultaneous events.
