Technically speaking, Code2000 has many OpenType sub-tables in it. If you look at the listing for Code2000 under the "Features" tag of the Microsoft Font Properties tool, which Christopher Fynn mentioned,... > If you want to be able to find out more useful information about Windows > fonts use Microsoft's Font Properties Extension: > <http://www.microsoft.com/typography/TrueTypeProperty21.mspx> ... you'll see that I enumerate OpenType tables in much the same fashion as that tool. The Font Properties Extension tool offers much useful information about fonts installed on Windows systems. In many cases, this is information which the font developer has added to the font in the hope that users will be able to read it. But, without the special tool, most users would never know... > Mind you, the version that I have has a fair number of features and > lookups -- 65 in GSUB. (Interesting: they're only Type 1 and Type 4 > substitutions - nothing contextual!) Rudimentary contextual style tables have been added to the working version of the font here for Latin. The official release of Code2000 is "broken" for certain Latin letter-with-diacritic combinations in certain string order. The working version here seems to be, uh, working! (I'm grateful to Bob Hallissy for pointers on this issue.) Now that I've written programs for generating contextual substitution tables, it is hoped that support for other scripts needing them, like Khmer, can be improved. Best regards, James Kass
