Hi there,
I have the following OpenType feature archive (intended to use diferent forms for initial and medial/final beta, theta and phi):
Quoting my answer from a different list:
If you are using init/fina features, it will only work with Arabic/Syriac and similar scripts where it is needed for basic shaping, most OpenType engines (including the one Hans wrote for LuaTeX) don't support them for other scripts. However, you can use contextual substitution to implement the word boundary logic into your OpenType code, but that is a bit tricky.
But since this is an often requested feature, and given that Adobe apps support these features for Latin script, I think it is worth supporting them in ConTeXt as well, it should be bit simpler than the Arabic logic already supported.
Just wondering ... zapfino probably has these features so they should work, although indeed the logic might be different. So, in order to proceed we need some test font.
