Hey FontCreator Team family,
I have a question to do with quotes...particularly using alternates contextually. Right now when I type a number surrounded by single quotes I have used CALT features to angle the beginning and ending quotes according to their position around the number. Like So:
I'd like to be able to change that first quote into the last quote when it proceeds a number that is comprised of two digits only...in other words for abbreviated years like:
Am I making it clear? I don't know, but I'm ultimately wondering if FontCreator can differentiate between a two digit number and any other number and change the quote type accordingly.
Thanks for your time!
Blessings,
Jonne

Re: Intelligent Quotes
I think this type of substitution should be handled at the user and/or application level. I.e., not by using OT features.
However, calt might work. But I have a feeling the combination of calt being on by default + many/most applications having smart quotes enabled by default would prevent consistent working, or work at all.

Re: Intelligent Quotes
I agree with Mike, you should not try to actually change the character. Substitutions should only be used to change the shape of characters.
