[Indic-computing-devel] some help required with otf

[Sayamindu D. <unm...@So...>]

hi,
i have been trying to make a angla otf from plash baran pal's glyphs
it is progressing nicely, but there are a few problems

1. The font does not show up in the Bengali font selection menu of IE 6
2. In case of a few conjuncts (three componenets), say, k+t+r, when i
type in the sequence, i have as a result, k+t and then, r (seperate) as
i have also defined a conjunct for k+t - how do i circumvent this??

-iti-
sayamindu

PS: provided that these two problems are ironed out, i will be releasing
the font within 3-4 days (probably monday) for beta testing - i need to
have a list of all bugs before i start redoing the tables again :)

Keep up the good work.
judging by the delta in the overall progress in bangla, looks like
critical mass has been reached and is being maintained...

First sequence k+t+r
Second k+t+ZWNJ+r
ZWNJ = Zero Width Non-Joiner

Hi,
is this the unicode representation , with + meaning 0x09cd ?, then the
second sequence will qive k+t+explicit hashanta and then an
illegal character (I guess a parser will just ignore the leading 0x09cd)

 Defining a substitution rule  
   k+t+r -> ktr  -- i
, before   
   k+t -> kt    -- ii
rule should do
 or you could add another rule   
   kt + r -> ktr  -- iii
( after ii ) , all these in same lookup.
