Trying to make a feature with a frame that will be used both for the online space, and for headings in text pagination.
The feature includes 2 variations 1. Linear frame 2. Negative frame
My problem with the negative is that it simply hides the content
I would appreciate an idea if you could do it right to get the negative text
I will mention that I tried chanze direction

Re: Text on negative
You might need ligatures, as two overlapping glyphs will be drawn on top of each other.

Re: Text on negative
Two or more overlapping glyphs just won't work, so you need to make a new glyph and use a ligature substitution.

Re: Text on negative
It works fine for me. I made a composite glyph with five glyph members :S, E, N, D, and the custom signpost glyph. If you need different signs, you may need to create multiple signpost glyphs of different widths.

Re: Text on negative
As you can see, the width of each sign needs to be different to get the right spacing.
Re: Text on negative
It's a live text feature that I'm embedding in Poni
It is built from two frame halves
between which there is a longitudinal inference,
depending on the need and the amount of characters.
It is not a ligature or a single glyph
Re: Text on negative
And this is also one of the places where I want to apply detection of the number of characters
and applying a variable value to them (frame length is appropriate in this case)
Then it can be used within text without the need for manual adjustment - by the slider
but by activating the appropriate feature

Do as he did:
https://beitalef.com/%D7%94%D7%99%D7%A6 ... 7%99%D7%AA
(Actually what he did, is that he added a line above and below each letter, and thus each letter that is added, adds its own line...)
