Font with locl feature
Yves Michel
Posts: 152
Hello,
Can anybody give me the name of a
free font with some extensive locl feature for European languages?
I'm
writing one but I face some syntax questions so I could do with a good
example.
Thank you in advance!

The Catalan locl implementation used is only one possible approach, and not necessarily the best one. A more flexible implementation uses a variant /periodcentered/ glyph that sits at an appropriate height and is spaced/kerned appropriately for use as the Catalan punt. This allows for type to be tracked while maintaining proportional distance relationships between the punt and the L/l on either side.
In the section OpenType features on localfonts.eu you will find descriptions for Bulgarian Cyrillic – .loclBGR, Serbian Cyrillic – .loclSRB, Macedonian Cyrillic – .loclMKD, Bashkir Cyrillic – .loclBSH, Chuvash Cyrillic – .loclCHU, Romanian Latin – ROM, Moldovan, Latin – MOL, Turkish Latin – TRK.
For a font with a lot of local features I suggest Vollkorn.
