Subject: Selecting character by glyph index
Date: Sun, 17 Aug 2014 23:48:45 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <op.xkrw3jnyfkrasx@ishamid-pc> (raw)
Dear consortium,
Is there a command analogous to \char or \fontchar which allows me to
select a glyph by its index in the font? In most font editors you can
choose "Index Mode" which shows the "physical" ordering of the glyphs
independent of encoding etc.
I thought that \charNN (where 'NN' is a decimal integer) did this, but it
does not seem to select the correct indexed glyph for a \definefont,
making me wonder in MkIV has changed its behavior. For example, choosing
\char35 gives me glyph index 223, not glyph 35.
In any case, for the current (already tedious) project this is a feature
that is sorely needed; if there is a way to hack a quick lua-based command
to do it, I would appreciate any help I can get. Perhaps a future version
of \fontchar can add this as an option... Thanks in advance and
Best wishes
Idris
