Hello folks,
I'm working on an implementation of a font for Znamenny Neumatic
Notation in Unicode (see here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Znamenny_chant)
Without getting too much into the details, I'll just state that the
notation includes base characters (neumes) and diacritics (red marks

Yes. I use a dummy character (a in this case) to make sure that XeTeX
finds the new version of the font, and it does. But the ligatures and
anchor points don't wo

I figured out the issue. They work if the entire text is in black, like this:

But the do not work if I have the marks in red while the glyph in

Basically, after I added cyrillic and latin to the subtables and
removed the color, the OpenType features started working.
Now, for the color. Searching this list reveals that there was some

Not in any straightforward way. The problem is that the vertical
position of the red marks is dependent on the base neume. So with a
negative-bearing glyph, you have to do some kind of con

I have been able to get it to work (the base glyph in black and the
"diacritic" in red) in LuaTeX using the luacolor package.
Here's a minimal example:

Mezenets Unicode is a font I'm developing for Znamenny neumatic

On my machine, in LuaTeX (3) results in a correctly positioned *red*

Of course, the correct behavior in this case is that of Firefox: if I type:

I am wondering if someone could guide me as to how to create a macro

Hello folks,
I'm working on some hyphenation patterns for Church Slavonic. I'm not
using PatGen2 - given the agglutinative nature of the language, I
think this would be too tedious. Rather, I'm writing down patterns by
hand.
I would like to test my patterns in XeTeX using the \showhyphens
