Hello, dear list !
In order to fix a few bugs in some OpenType features included in EB Garamond
font provided by Google Fonts, I am trying to remove some ligatures (erroneous
in some contexts) with fonts.handlers.otf.addfeature.
I must be missing something, because I can't get it to work.
Here is a minimal —non working—example :-)
(The attempted removal (“f_i” → “fi” only before “o”) is of course irrelevant.
I chose it just for the sole purpose of this test, to provide a simple example.
What I am trying to achieve is more complex, with other ligatures.)
fonts.handlers.otf.addfeature{
name = "unfio",
type = "chainsubstitution",
lookups = {
{ type = "multiple",
data = { [ "f_i" ] = { "f", "i" } }
}
}
rules = {
{ after = { { "o" } },
current = { { "f_i" } },
lookups = { 1 } }
}
}
}
Could someone please explain to me what I did wrong ?
Firstly, you have an extra } in the example above.
Secondly, rules need to come inside a data section. Thus (untested):
fonts.handlers.otf.addfeature{
name = "unfio",
type = "chainsubstitution",
lookups = {
{
type = "substitution",
data = {
[ "f_i" ] = { "f", "i" }
}
}
},
data = {
rules = {
{
after = { { "o" } },
current = { { "f_i" } },
lookups = { 1 }
}
}
}
}
the problem with this approach is that in a feature rich font like eb
you never know where to kick this into the sequence and you even don't
know how many variants of fi ligatures are there
