Font Forum

This is good news. It will save me a lot of time and effort. I tested it with whole classes instead of single characters, and it worked. Here's the code, in case someone else finds it useful... @horiz_right = [o r v w t]; @horiz_left = [a c f g i j m-s u-y]; lookup MultipleSubstitution1 { # GSUB loo...

Thank you.
I'll give it a try.

Could the "Test Font" window be detachable, rather like the play list in VLC media player, for example?
That way, users could see the effects of changes in real time.

I've got a problem with a huge number of glyph pairs (including contextual alternatives) that need to be spaced properly. I have several classes of contextual alternatives working, except for spacing. These alternatives are wider than the glyphs they replace, but should take up the same amount of sp...

I feel very happy at the moment. Thanks for your help.

I'm pleased to report that I have made some progress over the weekend by firing questions at an AI system. The following code works, but there is much more to do: @lowdiagright = [a c-e h i k-n u z]; @lowdiagleft = [e f i j m-p r-y]; lookup SingleSubstitution1 { # GSUB lookup type SingleSubstitution...

I think I'm understanding better, but I think what I am trying to do cannot be achieved in any simple way. This is what I'm trying to do... Given classes: @joinright = [a c-e h i k-n u z]; @joinleft = [e f i j m-p r-y]; @caltclass = [a.calt c.calt d.calt e.calt h.calt i.calt k.calt l.calt m.calt n.c...

Actually, I think I'm beginning to get it. Don't reply just yet. I need to study this and try some things that might work.

Sorry, but it doesn't clarify anything. I must call upon your patience and press you further on this. I admit I'm ignorant of fonts, and there's no one to guide me. My background is in computer and network performance engineering and technical writing. Therefore, please explain as you would to a ten...

I regret, I have to ask you to make this much simpler for me. Could you please explain what you have done and why? Also, what has it achieved? I can see changes in the .fea file, but their significance escapes me.

There's not much to my font as yet, so I'm attaching the project file.

Erwin Thanks for offering to help. Ultimately, I want the font to look like the attached image. It's Tom Gourdie's "Simple Modern Hand". (It's for personal non-commercial use). These letters: a c d e h i k l m n u join to the next letter, a b c d f g h i ... by a diagonal join. If I can ac...

I'm still struggling with this. I'm an absolute beginner, but I think I've made progress. I have created some classes and looked at the Code Editor, but I cannot understand how to use the classes. I have one class call "diagonal" which I want to join to another class by a diagonal join. (I...

Thank you for your help so far. There are two OpenType Features example files at: https://forum.high-logic.com/viewtopic.php?p=26561#p26561 . I wonder if one of those (probably the second) could be brought up-to-date, as neither FontCreator 15 nor I, can interpret them? Or is there an alternative ex...

Thanks. I seem to have a fairly steep learning curve at the moment.
