Font goodies color schemes by Unicode number
Hi all, Was exploring font goodies and color schemes and so far works great, very nice feature, thanks Hans. Now I've to small questions/feature requests: Can color schemes be defined using Unicode code points, e.g.: { 0x064E, 0x064F } instead of glyph names (e.g. I'd like to have a font independent goody to color Arabic combining marks and no glyph substitution is involved so Unicode code points should work for most fonts). Second question, can it be (ab)used to color a whole font with the same color (can be handy sometimes), e.g. using a special wildcard or something: { "*" }. Regards, Khaled

To make a colored font I expect a key in \definefontfeature, e.g. \definefontfeature[red][color=red,…] Wolfgang

I'll give it a thought but first have to look into some reported problems with the beta 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

the next beta supports "*" as well as ranges "0x0030:0x0035" (I adapted demo.lfg and goodies-002.tex) 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

Thanks Hans, it took me a while to get around testing it but I'm happy to report that it works as expected :) I don't have a generic Arabic file per se (but I'll right one someday), but the request was mainly inspired by this question (though it is something I wanted to explore for a while): http://tex.stackexchange.com/a/46240/729 Regards, Khaled

A nice example (someone should copy it to the wiki as part of the font goodies section).
