Dear gang,
Given a set body font and text, how does one replace all characters
of that font in that text with the corresponding rectangular bounding
boxes?
Once an answer to the above is spelled out: How does one control the
width of the lines which make up the bounding boxes?
% \showglyphs
or
\definefontfeature[default][default][boundingbox=yes]
\starttext
\input sapolsky
\stoptext
Many thanks, Hans:
a - Toggling \showglyphs does not have any effect.
b - Is there a way to make the glyphs disappear and show only the
boxes?*****
c- Is there a way to make the boxes frames instead backgrounds?
*****\start|stopcolor[white] doesn't work when boundingbox is yes.
Well, it's a tracing option so don't expect miracles and integration
with other features (like color). I'll add things like
\definefontfeature[default][default][boundingbox=yes]
\definefontfeature[default][default][boundingbox=background]
\definefontfeature[default][default][boundingbox=frame]
\definefontfeature[default][default][boundingbox={background,empty}]
\definefontfeature[default][default][boundingbox={frame,empty}]
\definefontfeature[default][default][boundingbox={frame,red,empty}]
as additional (probably never used) featurecreep but for sure will
forget to document it etc etc
Thanks Hans. The current development workflow could use an option to see
the bbox structure without seeing the glyphs (along with \showfontkerns as
well)... a "geometric" view of the font in action so to speak.
