Need help – #calt works differently in apps and on web

  • Handwriting cursive font with 3 sets of alternates, separated into vowels and consonants.
  • /space is made to be ignored when substituting, so that it can go con0-con1-space-con2 etc.
  • The code (for consonants) looks like this (@etc contains all the non-alternating symbols like /space or /period):

sub @con0 @con0' by @con1;
sub @con1 @con0' by @con2; sub @con0 [@vow0 @vow1 @vow2 @etc] @con0' by @con1; sub @con1 [@vow0 @vow1 @vow2 @etc] @con0' by @con2; sub @con0 [@vow0 @vow1 @vow2 @etc] [@vow0 @vow1 @vow2 @etc] @con0' by @con1; sub @con1 [@vow0 @vow1 @vow2 @etc] [@vow0 @vow1 @vow2 @etc] @con0' by @con2; sub @con0 [@vow0 @vow1 @vow2 @etc] [@vow0 @vow1 @vow2 @etc] [@vow0 @vow1 @vow2 @etc] @con0' by @con1; sub @con1 [@vow0 @vow1 @vow2 @etc] [@vow0 @vow1 @vow2 @etc] [@vow0 @vow1 @vow2 @etc] @con0' by @con2;

  • Everything works in apps but not when testing font online. I test it at http://www.impallari.com/testing/index.php. Pinging @pabloimpallari
  • For some reason substitution gets interrupted by /space. So it goes con0-con1-space-con0. Every word starts with the default set (con0/vow0).
  • There's also a substitution for "oldstyle" /d. Don't judge – I have to mimic the handwriting. Most of the time it uses this:
sub d' space by d_old;
  • And once again – it works in apps, but not online. What happens is this:
  1. If string is "@letter /d" – it doesn't change
  2. If string is "@letter /d /space" - it does change
  3. If string is "@letter /d /space @letter" - it does not change
