Hi,
as Hans recommended in the last video meeting, I tried to implement
the texquotes feature using OTF features, and hit two problems:
1) To support German quotes as well, I have two ligatures that end
up as the same glyph:
`` -> “
"' -> “
This can't be in the same ligature feature, as it will overwrite
the table entry with a duplicate key.
After some fiddling, I decided to map "' to a Unicode PUA symbol
and then add a second feature that maps this symbol to “ using
the substitute feature. This works for TeX Gyre Schola.
But perhaps someone knows a nicer way.
2) This approach doesn't work for lmodern or palatino, I still
get "' as inch-sign/quote there... anything else I need to tweak
for these fonts?
\startluacode
fonts.handlers.otf.addfeature {
name = "texlig",
type = "ligature",
data = {
['“'] = { "`", "`" },
['”'] = { "'", "'" },
['„'] = { '"', "`" },
[''] = { '"', "'" },
['‘'] = { "`" },
['’'] = { "'" }
}
}
fonts.handlers.otf.addfeature {
name = "texsub",
type = "substitute",
data = {
[''] = '“',
}
}
\stopluacode
% with lmodern or palatino it breaks
\setupbodyfont[schola]
\definefontfeature[ltest][texlig=yes,texsub=yes,trep=no]
\addff{ltest}
\starttext
``foo'' `foo' "`foo"' 19" rack
\stoptext
Thanks,
