### Better Components Generation in Glyphs ###
|
||
|
||
By adding the following glyphs, you will enable auto-generation of many components for the GF Latin encodings.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
DZ
|
||
Dz
|
||
dz
|
||
slashlongcomb
|
||
slashshortcomb
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Armenian Dram ###
|
||
|
||
Armenian Dram currency symbol is a recommended addition to any Cyrillic-supporting fonts, due to popular use of Russian in Armenia.
|
||
|
||
0x058F ֏ dram-arm
|
||
|
||
|
||
### Better Vietnamese ###
|
||
|
||
Stacked Vietnamese accents may require custom tailoring. This can be achieved by adding additional accents. Glyphs will automatically place these newly created accents were applicable.
|
||
|
||
Image: `ecircumflexacute`, `circumflexcomb_acutecomb` and `acutecomb`
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
Recommended glyphs for better Vietnamese diacritics.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
brevecomb_acutecomb
|
||
brevecomb_gravecomb
|
||
brevecomb_hookabovecomb
|
||
brevecomb_tildecomb
|
||
circumflexcomb_acutecomb

### Polish Kreska ###
|
||
|
||
Polish Kreska shares the same unicode as the acute accent, however it is designed differently. Explore Adam Twardoch's guidelines on [Polish Kreska](2)
|
||
|
||
Here is a list of additional glyphs for better Polish support:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
Cacute.loclPLK Nacute.loclPLK Oacute.loclPLK Sacute.loclPLK Zacute.loclPLK cacute.loclPLK nacute.loclPLK oacute.loclPLK sacute.loclPLK zacute.loclPLK acutecomb.loclPLK acutecomb.loclPLK.case
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### STRASSE or Straße? ###
|
||
|
||
The Google Lating Plus encoding includes **ẞ Germandbls U+1E9E**.
|
||
|
||
Does your font include Small Capitals?
|
||
For better compatibility you may consider adding the germandbls.calt glyph to access ẞ U+1E9E in Small Caps fonts. In Glyphs go to *Glyph > Add Glyphs*, and paste this code:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
Germandbls=germandbls.calt
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Add this calt feature:
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
sub @Uppercase germandbls' @Uppercase by germandbls.calt;
|
||
sub @Uppercase @Uppercase germandbls' by germandbls.calt;
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Duodecimal(dozenal) notation
|
||
|
||
Add these glyphs for single-digit representations of numbers 10 and 11.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
U+218A (turned digit two)
|
||
U+218B (turned digit three)
|
||
```
|

N.B. The question of German Uppercase Capital Sharp S is still highly debatable, and its usage hasn't passed into the official orthography.
|
||
### Cyrillic component building
|
||
|
||
These glyphs are used for component building and are non-exportable. Don't forget to set the non-export tag.
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
descender-cy
|
||
descender-cy.case
|
||
verticalbar-cy
|
||
verticalbar-cy.case
|
||
```
