Hi everyone,
I’m having trouble figuring out how to make the calt feature work for a connecting script. My regular letter forms are connecting in the middle — no problem there. I have initial and final forms, then I have some top connecting alternatives I would like to have with the calt feature. They are divided into three classes: tcRightSub (forms that connect top right), tcLeftSub (connect top left), topConSub (forms that connect both top left and top right). Here’s the example with the letter o:
Here is an example of what I would want to get with the calt feature (the Cyrillic el there is the only regular medial form letter):
Now, I know my code is wrong, but here it is, please let me know how to fix it:
# BEGIN POSITIONAL ALTERNATES
lookup IsolForms {
ignore sub @isolDef' @AllLetters, @AllLetters @isolDef';
sub @isolDef' by @isolSub;
} IsolForms;
lookup InitForms {
sub @UCnotConnected @initDef' by @initSub;
ignore sub @AllLetters @initDef';
sub @initDef' by @initSub;
} InitForms;
lookup TopConnectedRight {
ignore sub @tcRightDef' @elem;
ignore sub @tcRightSub @tcRightDef';
sub @tcRightDef' by @tcRightSub;
} TopConnectedRight;
lookup TopConnectedBoth {
ignore sub @topConDef' @elem;
sub @tcRightSub @topConDef' by @topConSub;
sub @topConSub @topConDef' by @topConSub;
} TopConnectedBoth;
lookup TopConnectedLeft {
sub @tcRightSub @tcLeftDef' by @tcLeftSub;
sub @topConSub @tcLeftDef' by @tcLeftSub;
} TopConnectedLeft;
lookup FinaForms {
ignore sub @finaDef' @AllLetters;
sub @finaDef' by @finaSub;
} FinaForms;
lookup UCOverhang {
sub @UCOverhang @shortDef' by @shortSub;
} UCOverhang;
# END POSITIONAL ALTERNATES
