What would be the most efficient $token language to capture the glyph name up to the first [.], or the whole name if no [.]? For example, something that captures
/a and /a.ss01 and /a.ss02.
And: there isn’t a way to select for specific components, for example a token that captures all of the glyphs that include /a as a component? (/aacute, /agrave, etc.)
Just stumbled across this. As I am getting into tokens, this is the most interesting use case. I need something that is exactly like “Show all glyphs that use this glyph as component” for a given glyph. Is this possible? Name-based hacks are certainly too unreliable.
You are right, there are certain questions. I am just realising this as I am writing a small script that generates the feature class definitions. Nested components: Yes, I’d usually want that. Another issue is: glyphs don’t contain components, layers do. However, it’s practically safe to simply check the first layer as it is very unlikely that components are not the same in different layers.
