Hello everyone.
I'm working on a font containing purely graphics. It's basically a visual code, which can be read only by copy-pasting it from a pdf.
I could not find anywhere how to create the following simple opentype setup:
- each caracther has a basic view - when it's used as a single letter (for example at ~'a' between two spaces)
- if the same character is in first letter of a word it should use a.alt_01
- if the last character of a word, a.alt_03
- everything else (in-between letters of a word) a.alt_02
Is this possible?
Thanks very much!

this project is really just about misusing the otf format for smart graphics. i did this kind of thing with programming (in openframeworks, and in scriptographer) but those environments are for nerds. i want to use otf because everyone knows what a font is, so it's easier to publish it in a way that you don't need to install a lot of things to use it.
it must be something really simple causing this error, but i cannot find it with my noob eyes.
any ideas?
(the underscores were mistakes, i corrected them)
(as well, the lookup was originally in the upper window with calt, but after saving and reopening it moved to the bottom)
thanks,
