Is there any way to find out the font's possibilities, if one doesn't have any technical documentation about it?
looking at tables in the font ... in fact, this font is somewhat messed up as it uses latin glyph names for kannaga ligatures concerning indic scripts ... this is an ongoing project: - kai eigner made the first setup, for devangari only but extending is a matter of adding more info - i cleaned up the code and optimized it (runs reasonable fast now) and and probably in the process broke some things anyhow, I added a few more entries in tables and get different output but also the impression that some glyphs get lost) so we're not there yet \definefontfeature[slanted] [slant=.2] \definefontfeature[boldened][extend=1.2] \definefontfeature[kannada][devanagari-one][script=knda] \starttypescript [serif] [kedage] [name] \definefontsynonym[Serif] [file:kedage-n][features={kannada}] \definefontsynonym[SerifBold] [file:kedage-n][features={kannada,default,boldened}] \definefontsynonym[SerifItalic] [file:kedage-n][features={kannada,default,slanted}] \definefontsynonym[SerifBoldItalic][file:kedage-n][features={kannada,default,boldened,slanted}] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [kedage] \definetypeface[kedage][rm][serif][kedage][default] \definetypeface[kedage][mm][math] [modern][default] \stoptypescript \setupbodyfont[kedage] \enabletrackers[otf.analyzing] \starttext ಇದು ಕನ್ನಡದಲ್ಲಿದೆ. ಬಹಳ ರೋಚಕವಾದುದು, ಹೀಗೆ ಬರೆಯುವುದು ಎಂದು ಭಾವಿಸುತ್ತೇನೆ. {\definedfont[file:kedage-n]ಇದು ಕನ್ನಡದಲ್ಲಿದೆ. ಬಹಳ ರೋಚಕವಾದುದು, ಹೀಗೆ ಬರೆಯುವುದು ಎಂದು ಭಾವಿಸುತ್ತೇನೆ.} % ಇದು ಕನ್ನಡದಲ್ಲಿದೆ. ಬಹಳ ರೋಚಕವಾದುದು, ಹೀಗೆ ಬರೆಯುವುದು ಎಂದು ಭಾವಿಸುತ್ತೇನೆ.\par % {\bf ಈಗ ದಪ್ಪಗೆ}\par % , ಮತ್ತು\par % {\it ಕೊಂಕು}\par % .\par \stoptext we can probably best move this discussion off list .. for instance we need to figure out what -- 0C82 anusvara -- 0C83 visarga -- 0CBD avagraha -- 0CD5 length mark -- 0CD6 ai length mark -- 0CE0 letter ll -- 0CE1 letter rr -- 0CE2 vowel sign l -- 0CE2 vowel sign ll -- 0CF1 sign -- 0CF2 sign -- OCE6 - OCEF digits does (maybe some has to be added to some tables). It's probably no big deal to get some more scripts working given what's already there ... more a matter of testing (and no, i can't read those scripts).
