I have written a fairly complex calt feature and now MakeOTF gives me an overflow error while compiling it. How can I circumvent this?
You can try to use this: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/opentype/afdko/topic_feature_file_syntax.html#5.g
Welcome to the club. You will have to re-factor your feature code, so that you only substitute when it’s really necessary. Perhaps you can get rid of other substitution features.
I inserted useExtension but it still causes overflow (by the way, the error message says the feature “ÿÿÿÿ” is causing the problem. I think it seems obvious in my font, but I really don’t know which feature). And I don’t know how to re-factor my code.
Rainer, shall I send the font file to you?
