Hi,
I'm trying to use the full glyph range of the Palatino Linotype font shipped
with XP (version 1.40; significantly different from the Windows 7 one) under
MKIV. Everything works fine (oldstyle figures, sups for instance), except
that the small cap "i" character has a dot whereas it shouldn't.
Here's a test file. The result, produced on WinXP / ConTeXt beta 2010-06-23,
is attached.
\definefontfeature[palatinolt-default][script=latn,kern=yes,liga=yes,trep=yes,tlig=yes,protrusion=quality]
\definefontfeature[palatinolt-smcp][script=latn,kern=yes,liga=yes,trep=yes,tlig=yes,protrusion=quality,smcp=yes,onum=yes]
\definefontfeature[palatinolt-sups][mode=node,script=latn,kern=yes,liga=yes,trep=yes,tlig=yes,protrusion=quality,sups=yes]

{\sc \input knuth }
\stoptext
As far as I can see, it has to do with the messy name list of the glyphs.
Both the normal small cap i and the small cap dotted i are named "i.sc", but
the wrong one is picked when the smcp feature is activated. Moreover, the
small cap glyphs have no unicode numbers in this font, so I cannot pick them
manually with \char"XXXX or even with \charXXXXX.
Any ideas how I can get the right dottless i?
