Question: How to include stylistic alternates in custom build? #1767

Closed Lieutenant-L-T-Smash closed 1 year ago

Lieutenant-L-T-Smash commented 1 year ago

The compiled Iosevka font available for download has a whole lot of stylistic alternates included within the font (such as every possible variant of lowercase i). When I build a custom Iosevka, these are missing, and I only get the one variant that I picked in custom-build-plans.

Is there a way to include alternates in the build?

(Sorry if this has been answered, but I skimmed through the docs and couldn't find it or any example of how to do it. Perhaps I didn't look for the right keywords.)

You mean this option? image

(equivalently, no-cv-ss = false)

Lieutenant-L-T-Smash commented 1 year ago

I suppose that's it. I can't be sure because when I try that option the build fails with "Error null", after working for an hour.

Lieutenant-L-T-Smash commented 1 year ago

I just confirmed this is the correct option.

Apparently my build was crashing due to insufficient memory (though it sure would've been nice if the error message had said that). I was able to complete the build after tripling my swapfile size. It also took about ten times as long, which is fair enough as it's building many more glyphs.

Thanks for the answer, @Logo121.
