[fontforge-users] Can lookups create space for marks?

[marty39 <mbr...@al...>]

I'm making an all-caps font intended for close line spacing, so there's no
room for accent marks. It's turned into an exercise in supporting Latin,
Greek and Cyrillic scripts in a variety of European languages. To
accommodate the necessary marks above and below, I want to use small caps if
there is one mark, petite caps if there are two marks, maybe even
teeny-weeny caps if there are three, and position the base glyph above the
baseline if there's a mark below it.

I can take care of that for glyphs that I precompose in Fontforge. Can I use
lookups to do the same substitutions and positioning for accented glyphs
that are composed in a text layout application? If so, how?
