Xetex support for .otf features

In the .otf fonts where they are present, the Contextual Alternate (calt) and Localized Forms (locl) functions work fine in LibreOffice.



Experiment: I create a quoteright.fr glyph with a large bearing and impose a calt because quoteright glyph in Italian and in French is replaced by quoteright.fr glyph.



With LibreOffice the difference is evident: for the first line I set the Italian language, for the second line the English language (without bearing):



enter image description here



Instead with Xetex I can not enable these functions.



If I do not specify anything in the font features, the contextual substitution rule does not work.



If I enter Contextuals = Alternate I receive the message:



Package fontspec Warning: OpenType feature 'Contextuals = Alternate' (calt) not
(fontspec) available for font 'GaramondPremPro' with script
(fontspec) 'Latin' and language 'Default'.


and again the contextual replacement rule does not work.



Here is Xetex (first line in Italian, second in English



enter image description here



with the following code:



documentclass article
usepackagefontspec
setmainfont[Ligatures=TeX,Numbers=OldStyle]Garamond Premier Pro
usepackagepolyglossia
setmainlanguage[babelshorthands=true]italian
setotherlanguagesenglish

begindocument

I'I N'P

beginenglishI'I N'Pendenglish
end document


What can you depend on? Is there an error or a lack in my code?



Thank you



PS



otfinfo -f recognizes only system-wide features, and not localized ones (neither calt nor locl), that are also present in the font if I check it with FontLab or FontForge:



samiel@darkstar:~/work$ otfinfo --features font.otf



aalt Access All Alternates
c2sc Small Capitals From Capitals
cpsp Capital Spacing
dnom Denominators
frac Fractions
kern Kerning
liga Standard Ligatures
lnum Lining Figures
numr Numerators
onum Oldstyle Figures
pnum Proportional Figures
smcp Small Capitals
sups Superscript
tnum Tabular Figures
zero Slashed Zero


PS2



I tried various possibilities. The following one:



documentclassarticle
usepackagefontspec
setmainfont[Ligatures=TeX,Numbers=OldStyle,Language=Italian,RawFeature=+calt]Garamond Premier Pro
usepackagepolyglossia
%setmainlanguage[babelshorthands=true]italian
setotherlanguagesenglish

begindocument

I'I N'P

beginenglishI'I N'Pendenglish

enddocument


produces the calt all over the document, not only for Italian and French languages (as in the font localized calt rule).



If I set



setmainfont[Ligatures=TeX,Numbers=OldStyle,RawFeature=+calt]Garamond Premier Pro
usepackagepolyglossia
setmainlanguage[babelshorthands=true]italian


the replacement is never produced

  • Yes, but nothing chages. It takes general font settings and not calt

  • Well without the font it is difficult to test. If your feature needs locl you could activate it with the RawFeature key.

With lualatex it doesn't work, there one need to add the calc-feature explicitly:



setmainfont[Language=Italian,RawFeature=+calt]SamielPro.otf


A language depending call could be setup with babel and babelfont:

I'I N'P

enter image description here



With lualatex it doesn't work, there one need to add the calc-feature explicitly:



setmainfont[Language=Italian,RawFeature=+calt]SamielPro.otf


A language depending call could be setup with babel and babelfont:



documentclassarticle
usepackagefontspec
usepackage[english,italian]babel
babelfontrm[Ligatures=TeX]SamielPro.otf

% for luatex:
%babelfont[italian]rm[RawFeature=+calt,Ligatures=TeX]SamielPro.otf

begindocument

I'I N'P

selectlanguageenglish
I'I N'P

enddocument

  • but if I've an Italian or French text and an English one? Why specifying the languages as in my exemples above it doesn't work? It's not a sans but a serif font.... I'm rather confused

    Well the warning seems to be wrong, the numbers are oldstyle. Make a bug report at the fontspec site.

    but I've no more smallcaps, no more oldstyle proportional numbers (only monospaced), no more lining numbers... Ok, I'll write to the fontspec site
