Hi all,

I want to get alternate end glyphs. Am I going about it correctly?

I'm using the latext context minimals.

The following compiles fine using the context command, but 'illustrate' ends with a normal e, not the e.end alternative.

\setmainfont[MEgalopolis Extra][features={mode=node,fina=yes}]

\setmainfont[MEgalopolis Extra][script=latin,terminalforms=yes]

This gives me terminal forms, but too many of them. I've marked where they appear in the following phrase. Secret far service ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ It looks like they're substituted at the end of every word and hyphenation point. Is there any way to have the substitution occur at the end of sentences only?

You need the latest version because 'terminalforms' (fina) wasn't available in previous ones and the script option is also new (and required here).

How do I find this sort of information? I found 'fina' by browsing through context's otf related files, but grepping all of minimals for 'terminalforms' yields nothing. Jeremy

Since it appears also in the following minimal example it's either a bug in context or in the font itself.

\definefontfeature[fina][mode=node,script=latn,fina=yes] \starttext {\definedfont[name:megalopolisextra*fina]Secret far service} \stoptext

Ok. Which files in minimals should I be looking at to see what's going on? Jeremy

this is quite doable (but not implemented yet) .. it falls into a different category of feature applications (probably doable with one of the experimental mechanisms i made for idris)

what font is that?
