Hi!
It seems like in previous version of Font Creator, we had the ability to read and create Contextual Positioning lookups. Are there plans to support this feature again?
If not and if this feature was previously available in older versions of Font Creator, as a Pro users of version 11.5, can we still get access to older versions?
Regards,
Stephan

Re: Support for Contextual Positioning
When I create a new Lookup, as seen in the image below, I do not have an option in version 11.5.0.2421 to create a Contextual Positioning lookup type.Bhikkhu Pesala wrote: ↑Sat Mar 03, 2018 9:44 am Yes, that is also supported.

Moved to support forum where others with more knowledge may see it.
What's that Chained Context Positioning that I see on the dialogue?

Re: Support for Contextual Positioning
FontCreator does read Contextual Positioning but stores them as Chained Context Positioning.

Re: Support for Contextual Positioning
Any chance we could get support for saving Contextual Positioning tables?
I am working on a text processing client and need to make sure I handle all OpenType tables properly.

Re: Support for Contextual Positioning
I'm sorry but there are no other font designers who are in need for this right now, so there is no real advantage for us to spent time on this.
