almost fixed now using this procedure:
1) Create a new LFG file
local fix_pala = {
comment = "Switching i.sc glyphs indexes",
fixes = function(data)
local descriptions = data.descriptions
descriptions[983201].index = 1170
descriptions[983261].index = 1110
end
}
return {
name = "pala",
comment = "Switching the small capped 'i' to a dotless variant in
Palatino Linotype.",
treatments = {
["pala.ttf"] = fix_pala,
["palai.ttf"] = fix_pala,
["palab.ttf"] = fix_pala,
["palabi.ttf"] = fix_pala,
},
}
2) Place it into the folder where other LFG files are stored
(tex\texmf-context\tex\context\fonts)
3) Execute 'mtxrun --generate' command to include newly added LFG file
into a file database
4) Specify a new font feature referencing to this goodie in the source file:
\definefontfeature[dotlessi][mode=base,goodies=pala]
\definefontfamily[palatino][rm][Palatino
Linotype][features={default,quality,dotlessi}]
\setupbodyfont[palatino]
\starttext
{Athenians \smallcaps{Athenians}}\par
{Athenians \sc{Athenians}}\par
{\it Athenians \smallcaps{Athenians}}\par
{\bf Athenians \smallcaps{Athenians}}\par
{\bi Athenians \smallcaps{Athenians}}\par
\stoptext
5) Trigger the generating
It works except the regular font style. In this case \smallcaps option
behaves differently than for e.g. \it or \bf styles. I am quite confused.
Moreover, when faked caps are switched on using \sc, it works. Can anybody
explain what is happening here?
Thanks, Jan
