Dear list,
I’m accesing superscript glyphs for Garamond Libre with the OT feature
and the character with the following sample:
\definefontfeature[sups][script=latn, sups=yes]
\definefontfamily[twoface][rm][GaramondLibre]
\definefontfamily[mainface][rm][EB Garamond 12]
\setupbodyfont[mainface]
\starttext
\startTEXpage[offset=1ex]
{\feature[+][sups]1}¹{\feature[+][sups]2}²{\feature[+][sups]3}³%
{\feature[+][sups]8}⁸{\feature[+][sups]9}⁹{\feature[+][sups]0}⁰\\
\setupbodyfont[twoface]
{\feature[+][sups]1}¹{\feature[+][sups]2}²{\feature[+][sups]3}³%
{\feature[+][sups]8}⁸{\feature[+][sups]9}⁹{\feature[+][sups]0}⁰\\
\stopTEXpage
\stoptext
Typeface is available at
https://github.com/dbenjaminmiller/garamond-libre/releases/latest.
Sorry, but I’m a bit thick now. Does anyone know why characters and OT
sups provide differently sized glyphs?
I think there might be a bug in the typeface, but I need to know first
what to report.
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

designers decisions ... i guess ... features are just tags and afaik
nothing really prescribes how to implement them (relative to each other)

Many thanks for your reply, Hans.
I see now that there are two series of “superscripts” (numr and sups).
The Unicode superscript use the OpenType numerator glyphs.
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

Thank you for the hint, I’m always looking for interesting fonts.
This is a nicely designed classical Garamond with a big glyph repertoire (Latin, poly Greek, Cyrillic, Byzantine/Greek music symbols, math and other symbols), but after first tests I found flaws:
– Numbers are a bit too dark; table numbers look a bit too big, oldstyle numbers a bit too small.
– Small caps are lacking accented vowels including umlauts.
– Cyrillic is missing Kyrgyz/Kazakh letters (i.e. Cyrillic extended).
– Kerning is not yet perfect.
– Accents sit a bit too close on the letters.
– Swash capitals don’t fit the style at all, they look like some modern hand font like Lucida Handwriting.
Best, Hraban

Thanks a lot for your insights.
From the repo I guess that this is a quite new project; you could post
bug reports.

That’s what I did. WRT swash capitals, the author told me:
\startquotation
I adopted this font, as a fork from an upstream which is no longer published under a libre license. Then I did make some slight extensions. But I didn't choose this. Right now, I am working on a new font, Salieri, which I hope will be of better quality once it is finished, and which, if it ever gets swash capitals, will get them according to some historically-rooted standard, most likely, though we are nowhere near that.
\stopquotation
I read this as “better don’t expect me to enhance anything substantial“.

But I didn't choose this. Right now, I am working on a new font,
Salieri, which I hope will be of better quality once it is finished, and
which, if it ever gets swash capitals, will get them according to some

Many thanks for the information, Hraban.
The new Salieri font is being discussed at
https://typedrawers.com/discussion/3627/.
The author is also working with the GFS in a revival of the original
»Heraklit« designed by Hermann Zapf (this thread has some comments about
it: https://typedrawers.com/discussion/3569/).
Just in case anyone is interested,
Pablo
