One is to get the substituted glyphs, which are specifically tuned for ruby use. For some fonts, such as Adobe-Japan1-4 and greater Japanese ones, the 'ruby' GSUB feature will return different glyphs. For other fonts, such as Kenten Generic, it's a no-op because the glyphs are already tuned for ruby use. The other thing that needs to happen is for the client to scale the glyphs, usually to 50%. This is outside the scope of the OpenType 'ruby' GSUB feature. >> >> Anyway, to answer your question, I think that the answer is yes. For some fonts, different glyphs will be returned (Adobe-Japan1-4 and greater), and for other fonts, the feature is not supported, which results in a no-op (Kenten Generic). In both cases, the glyphs, whether substituted or not, need to be scaled. > > Thanks for the info! I've updated to apply 'ruby' as you recommend, > and will run it by the WG for the next publication.
