Dear List,
I have the following MWE:
\definefontsynonym[ZapfDingbats][file:ZapfDingbats][features=dingbats]
\usemodule [fnt-10]
\starttext
(1) \getglyphdirect{ZapfDingbats}{61491}\crlf % MKIV log: char
(U+0F033) in font 'ZapfDingbats-4' with id 8: missing
(2) \getglyphdirect{ZapfDingbats}{983059} % LMTX log: char
(U+F0013) in font 'ZapfDingbats-4' with id 8: missing
\ShowCompleteFont{name:ZapfDingbats}{14pt}{1}
\stoptext
In MKIV, line (1) fails to output the requested glyph, while line (2)
produces a "check" (✓). In LMTX, line (2) fails and line (1) produces
the "check" (✓) . The output of "\ShowCompleteFont" reports differing
Unicodes for the same glyphs. Apparently the Unicodes for ZapfDingbats
have changed.
I would like to have a "check" (✓) in the output for both MKIV and LMTX.
Options:
A) Is there a way to address the glyph in ZapfDingbats for both MKIV and
LMTX uniformly, e.g. by glyph index? (By glyph name does not seem to
work: MKIV reports glyph names, LMTX does not.)
B) Is there a conditional that I can build into the source to
distinguish between MKIV and LMTX?
C) Is there a font in the distribution for which I can have a
"check"-symbol in both MKIV and LMTX?
Dingbats are old school t1 without proper names so we can't use
unicodes. However, there is a goodie that should do that so that in
principle it should work with unicodes but there is some interference
going on (i'll look at that)
For nwo access by 'name' or 'index' (these are kind of stable for such
an old font):
n:a34 : \getglyph{ZapfDingbats}{\tochar{n:a34}} \par
n:a35 : \getglyph{ZapfDingbats}{\tochar{n:a35}} \par
i:48 : \getglyph{ZapfDingbats}{\tochar{i:48}} \par
i:49 : \getglyph{ZapfDingbats}{\tochar{i:49}} \par
n:a104 : \getglyph{ZapfDingbats}{\tochar{n:a104}} \par
n:a105 : \getglyph{ZapfDingbats}{\tochar{n:a105}} \par
