Dear Hans (or anyone else),
There are some fonts (including Lucida) that don't have all the needed
character. A font feature "compose=yes" has been added to MKIV, but
that one doesn't work for Lucida or any other Type1 font.
My current fallback is to use:
% this doesn't help
% \definefontfeature
% [compose]
% [liga=yes,kern=yes,tlig=yes,compose=yes]
\beginNEWTEX
\catcode`č=\active
\catcode`Č=\active
\defč{\buildtextaccent\textcaron c}
\defČ{\buildtextaccent\textcaron C}
\endNEWTEX
But nevertheless a few questions:
- Is there some "accessible" method to compose a few characters in the
font (not too low-level) as opposed to using active characters? The
code must be there already since this is supposed to work for OpenType
fonts.
- Is there any way to fix horizontal and vertical position of accents
(on glyph-per-glyph basis; that one probably needs to be slightly more
low-level; maybe using lfg files)?
- Do lfg files work for non-opentype (Type1) fonts?
Thanks a lot,
Mojca
