Syllable Bows
Posted: Tue Nov 21, 2017 4:13 pm
I could use a little help with my current issue.
I'm trying to add a special school feature to my font: syllable bows. Like this:
This sample is made with a special software, so mine is not going to be that perfect, but that's alright.
I want to add a bunch characters with bows in different lengths to my font, from very short to quite long, all with Advance Width = zero. The user can then insert the bow with the desired length by typing a combination (like ^01) before the letter where the bow is supposed to begin. So far that works as expected.
My problem is that, if one syllable ends between two letters that are kerned, the kerning of course no longer works.
Simple example: the word LAVA. The bows would need to go under LA and VA, so I'd have to insert the second one before the V, so the kerning pair AV is no longer recognized.
Does anyone have any idea how position those pairs right again?
Any help would be much appreciated!
