That's one way to do it, yes!

Is there a better way?

Use this


feature locl {
script latn;
language TRK;
lookup ITRK {
sub i by i.TRK;
} ITRK;

language AZE;
lookup ITRK;

language CRT;
lookup ITRK;
} locl;

With this


feature smcp {
sub @latin_lc by @latin_sc;
sub dotlessi by I.smcp;
} smcp;


And make the glyphs i.TRK for lowercase, Idotaccent.smcp for small-caps, and Idotaccent for upper-case.

@ Chris

I think, Adam’s explanations could help you:

It’s because of the empty line. You have to put each code block into the code-tag.

Arno,

I started the thread in 2006 when I knew almost nothing. Now that it is 2010, I think I am beginning to forget everything. Rereading all that stuff helped!
The reason I brought up this again this time is that I am going back and creating an encoding to standardize everything from now on including my older fonts. This way, I can create a more efficient workflow that reuses modular items such as opentype classes, feature script, and kerning set-up tests samples. Now that I have dozens of fonts in the works, I can no-longer do the hodgepodge of variations I started with 6 years ago when I was just a beginner.

I messed up 2006 and 2009.

That’s useful.

If you have to rename glyphs in your older fonts during the standardizing process, these scripts might help:

Thanks, Claus!!!

Thanks for the script link Arno--and to John Hudson who always provides a generous service to his fellow man!
