Hi there,
I have the following OpenType feature archive (intended to use diferent
forms for initial and medial/final beta, theta and phi):
Quoting my answer from a different list:
If you are using init/fina features, it will only work with
Arabic/Syriac and similar scripts where it is needed for basic
shaping, most OpenType engines (including the one Hans wrote for
LuaTeX) don't support them for other scripts. However, you can use
contextual substitution to implement the word boundary logic into your
OpenType code, but that is a bit tricky.
But since this is an often requested feature, and given that Adobe apps
support these features for Latin script, I think it is worth supporting
them in ConTeXt as well, it should be bit simpler than the Arabic logic
already supported.
Just wondering ... zapfino probably has these features so they should
work, although indeed the logic might be different. So, in order to
proceed we need some test font.
