Hi all, The next big release of luatex will be about (opentype) math. One of the prerequisites of that is the ability to handle the opentype math features, and that means updating the embedded fontforge code. This is what I am currentlu working on. While updating the fontforge.to_table() code, I noticed that there where still some todo items in the source and it would be nice if these could be resolved as well. If have written tentative code for those now, but I do not have the fonts to go with the code so it is not at all unlikely that there are crash-level bugs and/or misconceptions. In order to make luatex even better, I need your help finding good examples of each of the following font types: * Apple dfont collections * AAT fonts in all forms * Apple Multiple Master (AAT "fvar") * Adobe's Type1-based Multiple Master * Fonts specifying baseline settings (OT "BASE" | AAT "bsln" ) * Fonts specifying justification data (OT "JST" | AAT "just") Please drop me a line if you can help out with any of these... Best wishes, Taco
Hello Taco,
I left you a zip file with some Apple fonts at /home/mojca/fonts at metatex.org.
(It's still copying, but it should be there in < 5 minutes.)

Apple's Geeza Pro font has AAT "just" table, though I don't think fontforge currently supports "JST" or "just" tables, it simply ignores them.
It is lucky that I am a programmer, then :-)

Sorry, I meant no offense, I was just stating what I've found trying to edit those tables in fontforge, knowing that such functionality in luatex is handled by fontforge's code. -- Khaled

No offense taken, and thank you for the font suggestion. Best wishes, Taco

While playing with the new JSTF table support, I found that Palatino Linotype font, distributed with windows xp, has JSFT table, I can send you the font if still needed. Regards, Khaled -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localiser and member of Arabeyes.org team Free font developer
