The font is fromhttp://www.thessalonica.org.ru/en/fonts-download.html . The log says : fonts> otf prepare> unsupported coverage contextpos for 'RQD ' Greek Caps after Accents Positioning-1

Thomas ?

Sorry, I have absolutely no clue what this is supposed to mean... I'm not even sure if the message comes from the core or Wolfgang's module? All I can say is: Theano-Didot is also supported by the ancientgreek module, and the font works normally here:

Anyhow, we're not going to look into it if there is no proper test file showing the problem. We don't even know what features are involved.

Dear Luigi, Thomas and Hans,

I asked to the font creator (I had other issues with the font to report) and he told me that this is actually a positive kerning in the combining diacritical mark so they look exactly like the precombined characters (so that Ἄ looks like of ῎Α).

I don't think it makes any sense to implement such a feature. And the font creator may change this to the kern feature in a future release.

I hope it helps,

well, if some feature is not supported then we need to solve it but we can wait till we run into a better defined case next time Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
