Subject: VORG and vmtx table in fontloader
Date: Mon, 22 Jul 2019 18:03:14 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190722180314.1ba2e49a97dbdb71ebf0c42e@yahoo.co.jp> (raw)
Hello all,
It seems that ConTeXt's fontloader (hence luaotfload's fontloader)
skips to load the VORG table and topSideBearing in the vmtx table
These informations are used to get the vertical origin of a glyph.

I don't know whether vertical metrics are used in ConTeXt.
But, they will be useful for other packages (e.g., LuaTeX-ja)
to improve vertical typesetting.
