Willi,
thanks for being supportive. In the meantime, I have taken another
step: by using tftopl, I produced a .pl-file of my font and edited it.
I inserted a "LIGTABLE" with ligature (and kerning) information. After
using pltotf and using the new .tfm, I had partial success: I get a lot
of the ligatures I want! However, a few problems remain:
1) The "space"-glyph has vanished. I assume it must somehow have been
mismapped. Does anybody have an idea how I could remap this?
2) One Greek accent is called by using the "~"-character. However, I
have no idea to which slot it is mapped; the same is true for the
"|"-character. How can I find out? And, by what Giuseppe wrote me a
while ago, I gather that I have to make at least the "|" inactive. Is
this done with \catcode`|=\other ?
I'm hopeful that these problems can be solved. And I am looking forward
to that. I feel a lot like the monkey in a story by Wilhelm Busch: it
has a coconut, it knows there must be something delicious inside, but
it doesn't know how to reach it. that's the way i feel about context!
Best
Thomas
