[feature request] allow multiple separate alphabets #1145

Open rcochrane55 opened 2 years ago

rcochrane55 commented 2 years ago

My conlang has two separate scripts, one latinate and one runic. I would love the ability to define those two alphabets separately under lang properties and define both runic and latinate spellings for a word, and have the lexicon be searchable by either script. Alternatively, just make the lexicon searchable by romanization. I'd also love the ability to choose which script gets used for conlang -> local lang dictionary entries, or a setting to make the dictionary entries use romanization instead of conscript.

This is one that I'm going to have to put some thought into. Putting both scripts into a single font is definitely necessary, though. I looked into methods for rendering multiple fonts in a single text field, and that is unfortunately not feasible. Search by romanization is something which I may add moving forward as well.
