Reflecting some more on this: the fontmake answer would be "fontmake is getting GDEF wrong because your Glyphs sources are wrong". And there's some merit in that. U+1BE7 looks very...

Well, there are two issues here; we haven't actually hit any otf2fea issues yet, just fontmake ones (and possibly fontdiffenator ones!). Right now you should be able to use `fontmake...

Thanks! @marekjez86, please upgrade your fontmake, use `otf2fea --gdef Whatever.otf`, and `fontmake -g Whatever.glyphs --no-generate-GDEF`.

Yeah, this is probably a mistake - the idea was that if you’re not doing anything involving language-specific rules then you don’t need a languagesystem statement and the implicit dflt/DFLT...

The code which generates FEA has undergone a bit of a transformation. Originally it was intended to be maximally human readable; the idea being that the output from otf2fea should...

Yeah, I don't think this can be fixed until harfbuzz/harfbuzz#2468 is done. Crowbar uses my hacky patch to extract descended lookup information, but you can't partially shape those correctly because...

I don't just render stuff as it comes out of the GSUB table; I tell Harfbuzz to reject the current lookup and all others in the current stage, so that...

Huh. It _should_ use a repository in the same directory as the `.glyphs` file. If it doesn't find one there, it creates one: ``` python p = Glyphs.font.filepath os.chdir(os.path.dirname(p)) if...

Hi! Thanks for trying this! I am going to write up my Nastaliq engineering process today. But briefly the convention is this: * Glyphs which form part of the rasm...

This is probably the same as #57. I'll take a look.
