The remaining question here is: where do I find such magical expressions like "features=kannada-one"? (Why "kannada-one"? "One"???) If I know that, then (so I assume) I could do the very same with the other Indian scripts which I use in my work. Hi Robert,
this is from font-pre.mkxl (and I assume font-pre.mkiv [I mean, the same file for MkIV and LMTX).
The features for Indic scripts seem to be (sorry, I’m totally ignorant outside the Latin or Greek scripts): devanagari-one, bengali-one, gujarati-one, gurmukhi-one, kannada-one, malayalam-one, oriya-one, tamil-one, telugu-one.
There are one versions, because they are also two counterparts (devanagari-two, bengali-two, gujarati-two, gurmukhi-two, kannada-two, malayalam-two, oriya-two, tamil-two, telugu-two).
What the OpenType specification includes as script tags (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/opentype/spec/scripttags) contains second versions for what might be some (or all [I’m afraid I don’t know]) Indic scripts.
Why are second versions? Using their own words:
“The OpenType script tags can also correlate with a particular OpenType Layout implementation, with the result that more than one script tag may be registered for a given Unicode script (e.g. 'deva' and 'dev2').”
I hope the description above might help, can you wikify this?
