If you want an example then download the Munson font and take a look at the open type features.

I've sometimes noticed this but it isn't a problem. In the preferences on the General tab there are two ways of rendering glyphs, they are called 'Winding' and 'Alternate'. If you use the 'Winding' then there is no problem and overlaps are handled correctly, if you choose 'Alternate' then overlaps c...

Did you untick the box saying generate these names automatically on export ?

In Font Creator you can search for glyphs using a text match to the glyph name and have the results displayed in a 'Category' and this is fine as far as it goes but it is sometimes necessary to refine the search using more than one criterion. For example I can easily select all glyphs with a Tag by ...

Yes if a glyph has two tags then they have to be removed separately which is a bit more work than it should be. Oh well ...

Tagging a glyph whilst in the glyph edit panel and tagging a glyph from the overview panel seem to use different slots. So you can double tag a glyph. I don't know if this is a bug or a ' feature ', I suppose it might be useful in some circumstances. It doesn't really cause any problems if you are a...

Very good

Subtitles are a good solution and easier than recording a new soundtrack. A question occurred to me about the Arabic End of Ayah character.

Is there an English version ?

This feature exists in the Open Type Specification. I'm not sure it's accessible through the Open Type Designer GUI in Font Creator but it will be accessible by writing the code for the feature in the code editor, you will have to do some hand coding.

I'm sorry but I have never had occasion to use the random selection feature.

This is a BIG subject so I hesitate to get into this because it is a can of worms. No Bhikkhu Pesala is not the only one on the forum answering questions but he is just the kindest and most helpful one. There are many different types of substitution which can be made with open type features, standar...

This is turning out to be an international effort. The Latin parts were not entirely my own, I had help with the Cyrillic from Stanislav Bycouchev and help with the Armenian from Ruben Hakobyan. Now Husham has put in a lot of work on all the Arabic languages. The result is really good. I just gave a...

Very good and just what I was looking for, thanks. But it looks a little complex, I think I will have to read it several times before I comprehend any of it.
