Hi all! The last couple weeks were pretty stressful, which I'm sure you'll be able to tell from the list archive. However, in the past couple days I have been able to make up for much of the time lost.
Last week, I made plans for changing LilyPond's internal treatment of glyphs--namely, that SMuFL names are the way to go. After a small setback from Friday through Wednesday, I was able to implement this. First, I updated the .mf files' fet_beginchar functions to take a SMuFL name (or a SMuFL name and a SMuFL-style alternate name) instead of a codepoint, and made sure the python scripts knew how to deal with it. I then split smufl-map.scm into two files: name-conversion.scm, which maps old LilyPond names to new SMuFL names, and smufl-map.scm, which maps SMuFL names to their appropriate codepoints. (I might change the naming system in the future, but it works for now.) Then, I had open-type-font.cc read the metadata files (which now conform to SMuFL specs) and construct lists of alternate glyphs, ligatures, and their codepoints. Lastly, I made the name_to_charcode function aware of these changes. To be perfectly honest, I'm pooped! I'll be taking tomorrow off in observance of the USA's Independence Day on Saturday, so I'll be back on Monday. Thank you, everyone who helped me out these past couple weeks! I couldn't have gotten through this without you. --Owen (P.S. when I was trying to fix my VM, I tried setting its clock back... and then I forgot to set it to the present again. My commits from today look like they were made 14 hours earlier than they really were. But at least they're there!)
