Re: Petite Capitals Private Use.xml
You are killing my plans with this in CompositeData: <GlyphMapping>7838</GlyphMapping> <Member id="1"> <GlyphMapping>223</GlyphMapping> <UseMetrics>TRUE</UseMetrics> </Member> </Composite> This is why the lowercase sharp s winds up being used to create the Germandbls.pcap as illustrated in...

Re: Petite Capitals Private Use.xml
I am seeing doubles 😎 And, as is usual, my troubles are of my own making, Prior to running Unmapped Latin Petite Capitals.xml, I had created both the Latin small letter sharp s (@codepoint 223) and the Latin Capital letter Sharp S (@codepoint 7838) both of which I take to be replacements for the two...

Re: Petite Capitals Private Use.xml
Nevermind!!!
I discovered the Unmapped Latin Petite Capitals.xml
I see some possible kinks but this should work.
(I would have done the German sharp S a little differently for one thing)

Petite Capitals Private Use.xml
I must be missing something here. The Petite Capitals Private Use.xml script fails to actually create the 155 glyphs I expect it to add to my font. The cells are there with what seems to be the correct code points but they remain empty. I noticed that CompositeData.xml now uses "friendly" ...

Not all word processors support all of the OpenType features. Where they are supported, they need to be activated or enabled.
For example, in LibreOffice, the supported features are enabled by specifying feature codes in the font selection box.

Re: How to change "ab" to "cd", while "a" won't change to "c" with any letters but "b" behind it in OpenType Designer?
Just for jollies, I created a composite glyph in the private use area @ $FB07 with a name of "abform". This glyph was a composite made of the characters "c" and "d". In the OpenType Designer, I added a Standard Ligature 1 feature (liga) and then I added a lookup table L...

Re: Keyboard access to as many as possible characters
Just to illustrate mapping a calculator font to a US keyboard shown in kbd01. kbd01.png I created six keys (Sin, Cos, Tan, Sin-1, Cos-1, Tan-1) and mapped them such that the right Alt key gives you the three shown in kbd02 kbd02.png Using shift with the right Alt key gives you the inverse functions ...

Re: Keyboard access to as many as possible characters
Unless you are into it for the fun of it, why re-invent the wheel?
There are some free calculator key fonts on the web.
One example: https://education.ti.com/en/software/de ... 557992/83p
There are also fonts which emulate various calculator displays as well.

Re: Petite Capitals script
After looking at several examples of Small and Capital Sharp S in other fonts, I suppose that FontCreator's rendition could be either small or capital … whichever you think it is, the other one needs to be created in CompositeData.xml.
