RE: Noto Sans Mongolian: NNBSP/MVS substitution rules

Hi Kamal,
Thanks for the pdf – it is very clear.
Have you experienced any problems with the NNBSP context that you have not been able to resolve?

Subject: Noto Sans Mongolian: NNBSP/MVS substitution rules




The attached PDF document shows the OpenType substitution rules of Noto Sans Mongolian for contexts affected by the presence of either of the control characters, NNBSP and MVS.



The document depicts each rule in a mixed textual and graphic form. In text form, we refer to each glyph by its name such as ‘u1826.ini’. The naming scheme was devised to be intuitively understood by those familiar with Mongolian script. For instance, “u1826.ini” represents the initial form of character U+1826 (Ue), while u1833.medV1 points to the first variant of the medial form of U+1833 (Da).



A * in any column means that this portion of the context (typically, before or after) need not match any particular value.

Lines starting with a % are simply comments provided for further clarity.



Each rule is broken into 4 columns as follows:



Main context

The glyph being examined is shown in its graphic form along with its name



Before

Shows the glyph that should precede the main context

After

Shows the glyph that should follow the main context



Result

If the current run of text matches the glyph shown in the main context, as well as those of the

before & after contexts, the glyph in the main context will be replaced by the one in the Result field.

Hi Kamal,

Nice to hear from you especially as a Noto Sans representative.
Speaking for the group, yes we are very interested to hear.
In particular, I would like to hear of problems that you have faced with the NNBSP in any area – from the shaping of glyphs in NNBSP contexts to impact in upper-level layout.
Please let us know if you have had any difficulties with the MVS also.

Thanks,
Greg

Would the members of the list be interested in seeing how the substitution rules of Noto Sans Mongolian handle MVS and NNBSP?
