Apologies for the ignorance. I am trying to expand my knowledge.
What all languages will my font support if I generate glyphs for all categories under Latin? This includes:
Western European
Central European
South Eastern European
Vietnamese
Pinyin
IPA
Pan African Latin
I did not find the answer to this in the any of the Tutorials.
Follow up question:
If I generate the glyph Adieresis before making dieresis or setting anchor points for A, is there a command I can run to auto-fill the Adieresis glyph after making dieresis and setting up anchor points?
Looks like the auto-fill only works if I generate the Adieresis glyph after I have everything in place.
We discussed this on the forum before too. The problem is that there is no good answer to that question. There are indeed some letters only ever used in singular languages, like hcircumflex for Esperanto, but mostly the boundaries are soft.
To give you a simple example, which letters do you need for German? Most people will reply ÄÖÜäöüß. What about Éé? You will not be able to set an average-length German text without put them because of the many French words in German that require it, Café being one of them. Similar story for Àà. Is your font supporting German if it does not have the cap sharp S (glyph name Germandbls)? It is part of official German orthography, but so rarely in use that you could easily do without it, and practically the complete corpus of German literature is doing without it, and has been printed without this letter. But in no other language besides German one would ever use it.
And we have dozens of similar issues in Charwát determination. So take all language support lists with grains of salt. There are inherent problems that cannot be solved easily.
