Hi guys been a while since I last posted. Been working on this font for close to a year now and have a few questions about writing code for inital forms. If anyone remembers the said glyphs–NUNIREDO.glyphs (36.7 KB) my fonts vowels change based upon what letter either precedes or follows them.
I had to restart from scratch (with my glyphs knowledge much better) because my coding was all over the place and when I would fix one thing it would mess up another. I have a full list of each and every combination of vowels/ letters now so I know what needs to be done. That being said when I loaded in the mostly done prototype as a webfont into my website the kerning on the margins was getting cut off when loaded online. To fix this I made an inital forms class/ feature.
My question is how do I write the feature code for an intial form correctly? Let me elaborate;
I need the beginning letter of a word to be the glyph .init (ex: M.init)
I tried following the tutorials online by generating:
ignoresub@AllLetters@Medial’;
sub@Medial’ by@Initial;
But this is not working! Any help would be greatly appreciated and sorry if this is a dumb easy fix!
Yes that one. I dont understand how to write the code correctly so the first letter in word will be the correct init glyph instead of the medial (normal) form. When I activate “liga” features everything is exactly as I coded it. When I activate “init” features nothing happens. And when I activate “calt” features the inital forms are spotty and appear in the middle of words? I included a glyphs file in my previous post, do you mind taking a look at it?
Been working on it. Please take a look at at my updated font. Im still confused and my code may be written wrong. I have the glyphs appearing correctly at the beginning of the word but when they follow a vowel they revert back to initial form. NUNIREDO.glyphs (148.4 KB)
