Export ".Rand" by default

Post by בן של מלך »

Hi friends, I edited a handwritten font with the option of "Rand" for a random change of the letters, but, as soon as I export the font, it does not keep it inside the font, and again do not see a change between the letters, does anyone here know why this is so?

It should work. Did you add an alternate substitution lookup? For example:

Code: Select all

###

languagesystem latn dflt; # Latin default

feature rand { # Randomize
    sub a from [a a.rand.1 a.rand.2];
} rand;

I have found that the rand function works in some applications but not others. Perhaps some shaping engines don't implement all open type features.
