Need Help with Handwriting Font

[ErwinDenissen]

Okay! Never mind my last reply – I got it! And once I got it, I couldn’t believe how dumb I’ve been, how much head-scratching and hair-pulling I went through, when the solution seems so simple to me now.

With that said, though, I noticed in that other thread that the guy had a “ChainingContextBetween” one – is that for swapping letters in the middle of words, I gather?

I was wondering about that, actually. I have my lowercase “t,” with a rather long crossbar, but it intersects with where the dot is on the “i.”

Can I set up a substitution so that if an “i” is adjacent – on either side – of a “t” then it gets swapped out for an “i” with the dot up a bit higher?

I know how to do substitutions for first and last letters in a word now, but I don’t know how to do something in the middle of a word like that.

(If perchance you want to download/try out the latest version of my font, you can do so via the links in my first/original post here. I’ve got a bunch of “ender” glyphs now, but for “beginner” glyphs I only have an “s” and “w” so far.)

I am glad to know you are getting more experienced with OpenType layout features.

To make a contextual substitution in the middle of a word, just add a backtrack, input, and a lookahead.
