Subject: new font installation and missing ligatures
Date: Sat, 16 Feb 2002 15:17:33 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <3C6ECC6D.1A586DC8@salamander.com> (raw)
I have installed a new font (Adobe Sabon) using texfont and have added
the procedure and examples to my beginner's help page at
http://home.salamander.com/~wmcclain/context-help.html.
Your comments and corrections are always welcome.
The font is working well, except for one problem: no ligatures (fi, fl,
``. ''. --. ---). The really strange aspect is that the ligatures _are_
displayed by the \showligatures macro used by \ShowFont, but are _not_
displayed in my own sample code. This is odd because looking at
\showligatures, it just specifies the ligatures as plain text input.
I can access the ligature gylphs by character number, for example by:
\def\Endash{\getglyph{Serif}{\char150}}
\def\Emdash{\getglyph{Serif}{\char151}}
\def\Fl{\getglyph{Serif}{\char8}}
\def\Fi{\getglyph{Serif}{\char12}}
\def\OpenDquote{\getglyph{Serif}{\char147}}
\def\CloseDquote{\getglyph{Serif}{\char148}}
These ligature macros are working: \ae, \AE, \oe, \OE.
Any ideas?
-Bill
