Hi Typophiles,
I wanted to know the script that allows hyphens (and other similar signs) to adjust if they are in a cap context, or a lower case context, or even between small caps.
Thank you!
Do you mean when creating a font? Use an OpenType substitution to an alternate glyph in the case (or smcp) feature.
.
Yes, while designing a font.
You mean for example create a new glyph called hyphen.cap? I thought there was one way to vertically adjust the existent hyphen in open type
You can do that with pos:
lookup shiftup { pos hyphen <0 30 0 0>; } shiftup;
It is best to add it to the case feature.
Best, Pieter
That's it! Thanks Pieter :)
I talked to Fer earlier about this... thanks Pieter it worked! I add it to the titl feature.
A separate glyph can have different kerning.
