substitute glyphs from another font
Hi again, the font I want to use keeps, despite its being otf, small caps and text figures in a separate file, not as features. I’m fine with the caps but I really need text figures as default and a switch to lining figures for the occasional table. Is there a way for typeface A to globally substitute the glyphs for R"09" with their aequivalents from typeface B? (I tried making numbers active but this messes things up royally. Modifying the font is not an option either. Also, some threads[*] on the ml seem to indicate that this is possible but predominantly done with math fonts.) Any solution would be appreciated no matter how hackish it might turn out. Thanks in advance Philipp [*] E.g. http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20100825.073722.961ad8df.en.html http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20090930.193712.bf6a4e0c.en.html http://archive.contextgarden.net/message/20101028.185641.136ab929.en.html -- () ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments
