Hello,
I'm currently a bit playing around with the idea to add some support
in the (LaTeX) package "chessfss" (which handle chess fonts) for
fonts loaded with the luaotfload package. As luaotfload use the
context code to load the font I'm hoping that someone here can help
me with some of my problems.
Chess fonts are highly unstandard. The different authors of the
fonts did put the chars quite randomly in the character table and
also used various glyphs name. So in the psfonts.map almost every
font has its own encoding vector:
What is the unicode support for chess fonts. Are there unicode glyphs for
each symbol (just like card suits, I guess)?
There are unicode code points only for a part of the symbols.
I checked the unicode list. The codepoints 0x2654 to 0x365F cover all the
chess pieces. All the fonts in enpassent.dk and chessfss_gallery.pdf show
only these symbols. So what is missing? I am guessing that the problem is
not as simple as just mapping a font glyph to the corresponding unicode
codepoint.
