Hi
I am trying to create a stylistic set .ss04 that pretty much takes all the glyphs from .ss01 and only has some different glyphs that I need to override. Is there a way to not have to write them all down manually (it’s a large set)?
I don’t think so. But those those things can be rather quickly written with a column selection in a text editor (vsCode, TextMate …)
Create two ss04 features: one automated (that takes all the .ss04) and one without automation (uncheck the the box at the top), keep them next to each other in the sidebar. Now copy the code from ss01, and paste it into the second ss04 (without automation). Then go through the pasted code and remove (or deactivate with a hashtag at the beginning of the line) those lines you don’t want in stylistic set 4.
Isn’t it also possible to paste ss01 lookup into ss04 and override some subs afterwards? What’s the automatically created lookup name in that case?
If you don’t see it in the code, there’s no lookup name generated. Better to just duplicate the code and remove the substitutions you don’t want.
