Of course LM does not look so bad but I'm using a different font so this is just an illustration.\slantperpointis a rather traditional tex/font parameter and not present in opentype fonts so you have to hard code something there
Sure ... but I can't figure out a way to change the italic behavior without changing the tf behavior.
Do you have a trick somewhere where you can define a conditional such that if slanted font (\it or \sl etc) do x else do y Then we could add that to the macro? Is there any other way?
you could try \definefontfeature[default][default][compose=yes] assuming that you have the bottom accent available
I already have compose=yes in the typscripts, e.g.
=================
\definefontfallback
[latindot]
[file:LMRoman12-Regular*default]
[0x0323]
[force=yes]
\definefontfeature
[minionpro-tf]
[mode=node,script=latn,language=dflt,trep=yes,protrusion=quality,
expansion=quality,compose=yes,combine=yes,tlig=yes,
kern=yes,liga=yes,onum=yes,cpsp=yes]
\definefontfeature
[minionpro-it]
[mode=node,script=latn,language=dflt,trep=yes,compose=yes,combine=yes,tlig=yes,
kern=yes,liga=yes,onum=yes,cpsp=yes,protrusion=quality,expansion=quality,
swsh=yes]
=================
but the results are bad using
=================
\defineactivecharacter ḥ {ḥ} % Ux0323 is explicit within the {}
\defineactivecharacter Ḥ {Ḥ} % Ux0323 is explicit within the {}
\defineactivecharacter ṣ {ṣ} % Ux0323 is explicit within the {}
\defineactivecharacter Ṣ {Ṣ} % Ux0323 is explicit within the {}
\starttext
Ḥ {\it Ḥ}
ḥ {\it ḥ}
Ṣ {\it Ṣ}
ṣ {\it ṣ}
\stoptext
=================
See pdf. Even in LM, the results are very uneven ...
If it takes a hard-coded solution for each char that's fine, I should be
able to extrapolate from a template for just one in regular and italic.
I've experimented with different ideas, but I'm really out of my league on this one ... please help!
