during my attempts to patch the Palatino's dotless 'i' I found that this font is parsed incorrectly by ConTeXt.
Comparing index/name info of individual glyphs in the font software and resulting pala.tma file there is the following difference:
Index | Name - font | Name - tma 1110 | dotlessi.smcp | i.sc (1) 1170 | i.smcp | i.sc (2)
The first one should have IMHO a different name, e.g. dotlessi.sc (to keep conventions). The same name for two glyphs might be dangerous.
the font pala.ttf has two entries i.sc and i see no reference to *.smcp
There is no 'i.sc' glyph available according to the font software, only those .smcp, listed in the smcp6 table.
As there are only .sc names in the TMA file, I suppose there is some kind of name normalization. But not very precise...
mtxrun --script font --save pala.ttf
I can confirm your observations. In this lua export there is no .smcp, but doubled i.sc records. Strange. There must be really some kind of normalization there... It would be nice to review the corresponding part of the code as it is IMHO potentially dangerous. I felt obliged to report it :-) Jan
