Identifying the script version
Posted: Mon Apr 04, 2016 10:31 pm
All my fonts use the same script (well with some exceptions) so having just finished a round of updates I ask do they have the right version of the script? This is quite laborious to determine.
My own crude method is to put in deliberate mistakes that can be seen when the font is used by a word processor.
I thought of having an empty GPOS lookup such as 'pos-20140329-b' .
Better would be some metadata in the script itself.
A comment field would help.
Such identification should ideally be visible from the outside without opening the Designer Window or even without running Font Creator.
