Many thanks for the information, Hraban. The new Salieri font is being discussed at https://typedrawers.com/discussion/3627/. The author is also working with the GFS in a revival of the original »Heraklit« designed by Hermann Zapf (this thread has some comments about it: https://typedrawers.com/discussion/3569/).

Thanks a lot for your insights. From the repo I guess that this is a quite new project; you could post bug reports. juh ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

Thank you for the hint, I’m always looking for interesting fonts. This is a nicely designed classical Garamond with a big glyph repertoire (Latin, poly Greek, Cyrillic, Byzantine/Greek music symbols, math and other symbols), but after first tests I found flaws: – Numbers are a bit too dark; table numbers look a bit too big, oldstyle numbers a bit too small. – Small caps are lacking accented vowels including umlauts. – Cyrillic is missing Kyrgyz/Kazakh letters (i.e. Cyrillic extended). – Kerning is not yet perfect. – Accents sit a bit too close on the letters. – Swash capitals don’t fit the style at all, they look like some modern hand font like Lucida Handwriting.

I see now that there are two series of “superscripts” (numr and sups). The Unicode superscript use the OpenType numerator glyphs.

Sorry, but I’m a bit thick now. Does anyone know why characters and OT
sups provide differently sized glyphs?
I think there might be a bug in the typeface, but I need to know first
what to report.
designers decisions ... i guess ... features are just tags and afaik
nothing really prescribes how to implement them (relative to each other)
