I’m working on a typeface that uses several symbols for each letter of the alphabet. I need the symbols to be random and not the same. I have saved all the symbols in upper case, and the substitutes as A.alt0, A.alt1, A.alt2.
Everytime I compile this comes up
There is a problem with the font
Error: ““feature” statement allowed only in ‘aalt’ feature” in Feature calt in line: 0
syntax error at “{” missing “;”
This is what I have
feature calt {
@randomDuplicateSkip = [@uppercase];
