Hi Carl,
Thanks for bringing this file to my attention. It seems to me, however,
that the Unicode encoding is defined in gen-emmentaler.fontforge.py, at
lines 58 through 61, with a simple iterator starting at 0xE000. (This is
what I'm planning to replace with manually defined SMuFL codepoints, taken
from the .mf files.)
AFAICT, encodingdefs.ps doesn't seem to have a bearing on the final Unicode
encoding. The first glyph mentioned in encodingdefs.ps ("noteheads.d0doFunk"),
there given the value 0x01 in the LilyNoteHeadEncoding list, has a value of
0xE0F5 in the generated emmentaler fonts, and is nowhere near being the
lowest-value notehead character in the PUA. Perhaps encodingdefs.ps deals
with a different, font-specific, category-dependent character map, while
the python script defines the Unicode encoding?
Thanks,
Owen
