Hi Hans, removing those features is trivial. The question is: - is it worthwhile to have them, at least with some limitations? - are they already used and hence removing them can cause trouble? AFAIK only Robert Schlicht and Ulrich Dirr have been playing with them a little bit, but nobody has made any use of those in serious work. Please correct me if I am wrong. Of course I am happy to play with those features when luatex is ready for that. Thanh On Sun, Nov 19, 2006 at 11:07:38PM +0100, Hans Hagen wrote:
Hi Thanh,
I think it was not a good decision to introduce those new features, as they touch a very sensitive area of tex and it's hard to get them right. I wonder whether it is better to discard them all.
removing them is tricky since they may be in use already but don't spend to much time on fixing things that are hard to fix in current tex; once luatex is in a state where fontdata has no longer the global properties and where we can have more control over font related featurss, you can probably rewrite most of the code in a cleaner way Hans
