For example, I called my new glyphs ‘ g.slant, s.slant, y.slant’ and their suffix is ‘ slant’. The suffix is linked to the name you gave your glyphs. On the next dialogue box that pops up, we’ll associate our substitution glyphs with their default source glyphs by,Ī) typing ‘slant’ in the box next to ‘Default Using Suffix’.
Now we’ll add a subtable to our lookup by,Ĭ) Then click ‘OK’ to accept the default name, or you can rename it. On the next screen that pops up, make sure you’ve selected ‘Lookups’ in the left hand column, thenĪ) Select ‘Single Substitution’ from the drop down list.ī) There’s no need to add a feature line item.Ĭ) Type the name of your lookup in the box next to ‘Lookup Name:’ To create a new lookup table, make sure you’re in ‘Font View’ then Now we will create our first single substitution lookup table to describe our changes. Detailed information on lookup tables can be found at Fontforge.

LIGATURES FONTFORGE PATCH
Now I only need to find out why (after I make a local patch for missing internal.h).How to Create Contextual Ligature Lookup Tables in Fontforge That it's not needed for newer freetype versions.Īnyway I reemerged dejavu and reset my interpreter version variable and logged out and in and reopened my libreoffice test doc and everything is beautiful. Then it wouldn't finish a build because freetype no longer comes with. So I went to /usr/local/portage and reverse-applied this patch:įirst I had to change PYTHON_COMPAT to 3.7. Or else fontforge really IS messed up, and it's only some old bytecode interpreter that chokes on some isolated examples of its output.Įdit: I found an old package.mask indicating fontforge-20170731-r4 was a good version. The good news is that hopefully I can bisect freetype and see what changed while nobody or almost nobody except me even noticed that something broke. Now I remember that the first time I ever had to worry about the interpreter version was after they changed the default and I needed to change it back- back to what it must have been when I first saw this kind of corruption. Version 40 is on right now and it is fairly crap. This is bad because version 35 is the one that makes everything look familiar and more or less pleasant (as this person knows: ). So I'll just manually edit, manually install, and save some good TTFs in ~/ in the meantime- if that even works.Įdit: the bad news is that changing the FREETYPE_PROPERTIES so truetype interpreter was anything other than 35 immediately fixes it. An old-ish but semi-recent fontforge still reveals the problem, and I don't even know if it IS fontforge's problem. I have tried to find an old fontforge that works just for the sake of knowing where to begin a git bisect- and that's just another pain, partly because at some point they switched from autotools to CMake. Now I don't have those things, and the TTFs I made might be in some backup but this is bothering me. Eventually I **think** I figured out I could just mask a more recent fontforge and it would be good again. Pretty soon I noticed some of this corruption and first assumed I broke something but things were still wrong after I removed the patches. I first saw this a few years ago when I had the idea to fix some things using local patches. Has anyone ever seen nonsense like this? Perhaps I am merely not good enough at coming up with search terms. At least ff, fi, fj, and fl are replaced by the wrong glyph- from a south Asian or Indonesian script, I think.
