Re: Font only implementing one kerning interaction and not another

I did more experimentation and this issue basically occurs with any letter that follows the two A-glyphs. The kerning is proper when any letter follows only one of the A-glpyhs, but not when it follows two. Additionally, it isn't just the A-glyphs doing this but also the Ma-glyphs, but strangely eno...

Re: Font only implementing one kerning interaction and not another

I don't have those buttons. There is nothing to the left of the plus and minus signs.

However I do have "/Ma/A/La.init/Da.medi/Ka.fina" in the images above

Re: Font only implementing one kerning interaction and not another

What is a "proofing dialogue"? I presume that Erwin means the Font Test window (F5). Your screen shots show the Preview Toolbar. There is another preview in the OpenType Features dialog. Oh, well the Font Test Window doesn't display any of my open type features (such as calts) anyways, so...

Font only implementing one kerning interaction and not another

The glyphs in question are A (the w-shaped letter) and La (the larger one of the two letters with a dot below) As shown in the image, when there are no spaces between the letters, the font chooses to only render the A-A kerning interaction while not doing the A-La kerning interaction at all. Yet, if...

Re: Some issues regarding my font

You could try this in .css: writing-mode: vertical-lr; text-orientation: upright; So I gave that a try and all it really did was make the text basically the equivalent of: T E X T I do have a way to properly display the font in the desire way, it's just rather clunky: <span style="writing-mode...

Re: Some issues regarding my font

I do not know how shaping engines cope with PUA characters. Are you inventing a new script or language? Ideally I hope to achieve a font that can be written RTL horizontally as well as LTR vertically. I can at least achieve some semblance of being RTL by using a string reversing command for my text...

Some issues regarding my font

I am intending to make a cursive, vertical, LTR conscript font. I should note that all of my glyphs are set to the Private Use area (E000 and beyond). I've made sure that contextual alternates work for the cursive part, although I've noticed that, while it works on FontCreator's WOFF tester and my l...

Re: Need help with contextual substitution for my font

Oh, my glyphs are not assigned to the Arabic codepoints but on Latin codepoints (I plan on switching them to the Private Use codeblock), which the .init, .medi., and .fina do not work with.

Need help with contextual substitution for my font

I've tried reading some guides on here but I can't really wrap my head around these open type features. And I can't really extrapolate what little I could figure out to my own font since they all deal with the Latin script cursive. Could somebody show me how to make it so that an input letter switch...

Re: How to make a vertical font

I was hoping that I would not have to assign the glyphs to Mongolian codepoints to make it vertical.

How to make a vertical font

So I'm making a vertical writing system for my conlang but I'm not sure how to format the font so that it makes the letters vertical like Mongolian.

Basically, it's the form of the letter used at the end of a sentence, rather than just at the end of a word.
