If a real test suite is needed, I can prepare a special copy of one of TeX Gyre fonts for this purpose.
I went ahead and patched texgyre pagella to implement lfbd/rtbd features (based on palatino protrusion values from microtype package), attached the font file and the "dirty" python script used to build it.
hm, but who says that those values are the right ones?
Nobody, I just wanted to pick some thing that is sensible for a test.
after thinking a bit about protrusion i dediced that it might make more sense to look at boundingboxes so i wonder how usefull that feature actually is; it might make more sense to misuse it for left/right (also inline) italic correction
May be we can use the opbd feature itself for this "misuse"; since I have no idea what values stored in it to be used for, so to avoid clash between italic correction and protrusion values.
well, as no one implements it and as it looks like "whever does it first in otf sets the standard" it sounds like a valid approach and indeed it's sort of weird that the spec says that the values for opbd are stored in other features Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
