Dear List,
I have the following MWE:
\definefontsynonym[ZapfDingbats][file:ZapfDingbats][features=dingbats] \usemodule [fnt-10] \starttext (1) \getglyphdirect{ZapfDingbats}{61491}\crlf % MKIV log: char (U+0F033) in font 'ZapfDingbats-4' with id 8: missing (2) \getglyphdirect{ZapfDingbats}{983059} % LMTX log: char (U+F0013) in font 'ZapfDingbats-4' with id 8: missing \ShowCompleteFont{name:ZapfDingbats}{14pt}{1} \stoptext
In MKIV, line (1) fails to output the requested glyph, while line (2) produces a "check" (✓). In LMTX, line (2) fails and line (1) produces the "check" (✓) . The output of "\ShowCompleteFont" reports differing Unicodes for the same glyphs. Apparently the Unicodes for ZapfDingbats have changed.
I would like to have a "check" (✓) in the output for both MKIV and LMTX. Options: A) Is there a way to address the glyph in ZapfDingbats for both MKIV and LMTX uniformly, e.g. by glyph index? (By glyph name does not seem to work: MKIV reports glyph names, LMTX does not.) B) Is there a conditional that I can build into the source to distinguish between MKIV and LMTX? C) Is there a font in the distribution for which I can have a "check"-symbol in both MKIV and LMTX? Dingbats are old school t1 without proper names so we can't use unicodes. However, there is a goodie that should do that so that in
