Hi all,

the glyph list is a bit of a conundrum.

Context (font-enc.lua) will build its glyph list from
font-agl.lua and char-def.lua. Luatex-Fonts reads a file named
font-age.lua, which is, however, some 500 character definitions
short of the canonical Glyph List from Adobe’s resources [1].  On
the other hand, font-age contains these definitions

   table={
     ["SF10000"]=9484, ["SF20000"]=9492, ["SF30000"]=9488,
     ["SF40000"]=9496, ["SF50000"]=9532, ["SF60000"]=9516,
     ["SF70000"]=9524, ["SF80000"]=9500, ["SF90000"]=9508,
     ["afii208"]=8213,
   }

which Adobe denotes padded as

     SF010000;250C
     SF020000;2514
     SF030000;2510
     SF040000;2518
     SF050000;253C
     SF060000;252C
     SF070000;2534
     SF080000;251C
     SF090000;2524
     afii00208;2015

I’m not sure what to make of these differences and how they came
to pass except for some older posts in the list archive [2]. So
I’m asking for practical reasons:

   Are the differences of any significance?
   Can I use either list or should I stick with font-age?

only

twentyhangzhou  5344

was missing in char-def

the rest of the delta with the adobe list are synonyms

i've added the delta to font-age (makes it bigger but the list is not that critical anyway, mostly a fallback)


Thanks for any advice
Philipp
