Font Forum

PS FYI, below are examples of glyphs mapped to the PUA passing through Jotoh into an epub as read by ADE: Jutoh snippit.png ADE snippit.png So, the hex encoded glyphs (highbreve and highmacron) pass through only because there is no Open Type processing engine? Clearly, these are not perfectly positi...

Which characters do you need? There may be codepoints with precomposed accented characters already in Unicode for some or all of them. Yes I am aware of that, thank you. However, I would have to do an inventory on the existing accented characters in any font I use and I am positive that I would hav...

Perhaps I could take a different tack here. Instead of relying on open type features to create these accented vowels on the fly I could use the composing abilities of FC via a script to just create the 84 odd characters I need for this project. Hmmm....

Apparently neither is Wordpad or Jutoh . . .So, I've wasted my time here, Great!

Erwin, thanks so much for the rapid and kind response. I apologize for not including the FC version number in my request for help; I was so intent on being as clear as possible that I neglected to inform you that I am using FC version 10.0.0 build 2125 running on Windows 10 Pro release 161004. No, I...

I am having a difficult time understanding the Open Type Designer and how it functions. I am creating a modified combining breve and a modified combining macron to illustrate a treatise on poetry. Basically, I am just raising the glyphs up to the Typo Ascender. The Designer shows the glyphs being cl...

FYI: It appears that the # displayed by the real-time validation routine when one opens a "too complex" glyph is the last # displayed by the real-time validation.

Hah, when I reopened the first glyph to estimate the number of contours, the real-time validation identified it as #492 while it is really #297. There were not too many contours so I just upped the point limit to 600 and "No problems detected". #298 had one little problem an #299 and #300 ...

I can imagine that these are full of errors.

Glyph #0 is empty .notdef. I remember seeing a list of the minimum required glyphs some where on this board but I'll be darned if I can find it. I thought .notdef was ordinarily displayed when a codepoint could not be found in the font and usually had a little rectangle to represent an empty glyph. ...

When the validation wizard gives me a list of glyphs which it cannot repair, I save the text file when there are many and I search for them, one after the other, to repair them. Several times now, when I double-click on the “found” glyph in order to edit it and the real-time glyph validation window ...

Oh, man!!! My new script seems to have worked! SIX CLICKS and we are done!

Wow, that Vietnamese.xml script is compact for the task it performs. (you have already done the heavy lifting with CompositeData.xml) I have a couple of questions: 1) Can you insert <CR>s in long comments between <contents> </contents> in order to keep them on the screen? 2) I assume you cannot inse...

Codepoints, Glyph Name, Glyph Index, Unicode Name, period, full stop, middle dot, periodcentered, bullet operator hex this, decimal that … You guys just make this stuff up in order to keep ordinary humans like me out of your game!!! :wink: Combining dot below will be composed from periodcentre, and ...

FYI: Glyph Transform does not open unless there is a project or font loaded. Thanks, I'll have a look. <Composite><!-- Macron --> I would not care to count the number of "macron"s that are in that file ... How many times might "Modifier Letter Macron" be found? I would not have e...
