Good news, I got the green light and will be working on these OpenType

Dear Betrand, et al.
I've been watching this list for a while and have been waiting the day
when interest grows in handling complex scripts. This is going to be key
for handling Non-Roman scripts, which while not your target, are a big
need when it comes to typesetting.

I don't remember exactly but I think there are some fonts which supply
different weight variants without the use of the TTC facility. I guess I
have to dig that up.
BTW, I just stumbled over a patch that was never applied concerning
OTF/CFF. Maybe it's worth to have another look:

Doesn't kerning cause the same problem as smart font features (like

You're right, kerning works for builtin fonts

I think so, but they still have tables for some of the features Bertrand
is investigating to implement.

Hi Bertrand,
As I've made some work in this area, I can provide a few additional
hints. In fact I'm kind of a "bridge" between FOray and Fop and am
working on adapting FOrayFont to Fop. Currently I'm not doing much
because I'm busy with some other work on Fop for the Google Summer of
Code, but I

I'll reply on the other points tomorrow, but for now:

Hi FOP team,
(sorry about the long message, but there's quite a lot of stuff to explain)
I *might* have a need and budget to improve the support of OpenType
