Implement OpenType digit features tnum, lnum, onum, pnum and zero
Last modified: 2012-08-25 19:19:17 UTC
Hi again, The OpenType digit display featues with lookup tables 'tnum', 'lnum', 'onum', 'pnum' would be useful for people doing careful typography. The slashed zero can greatly improve readability in some cases. I think they should be pretty easy to implement. Each should execute a simple substitution of a digit with glyph specified in the font's lookup. They should be accessible from any script. These should all be turned off by default, and turned on at a user's discretion. The only complication seems to be that some of them override others.
