Taco,
thanks for your thoughts on that!

Now I would like to remap the exclam character to this dotbelowcom.
If it was me, I would go for an active character, as that seems the
most
straightforward solution.
Here's what Hans wrote about a year ago :-)
no, active chars are a pain ... because they need to adapt to all kind
of situations then, i'm glad that i got rid of the active : cum suis
of course we can add a new core-spa feature that remaps chars (kind of
like french spacing)
My problem would be that I need the ! active only inside the macro
assignment, so that would demand something along the \scantokens
macro, and I have never quite understood how that works...
Again, no problem: with a fea file, I can write a sub rule
sub exclam by dotbelowcomb
It is better to forget about fea files alltogether. Even when they
actually work, the interface is ugly.
I agree, but I found them quite useful for some of the crazy stuff
that I'm doing with fonts... Maybe I'll write a simple lua gsub
function and pass all text through that.
Mkiv has an interface for virtual math, but I am not sure whether that
also works for text fonts (not do I know how, if so). If it does not
yet but could be made to do so, then that would be a very useful
extension to the font fallbacks...
I agree :-)
Thanks
Thomas
