Original Message

At some point I'd like to define a "GF Latin Plus" glyph set plus OT code.

I'd review the Underware Latin Plus, Adobe Latin 4, and Impallari Latin Plus sets, and common OT features implied by this - both a minimum set of kern classes/pairs, and language related glyph substitutions - and define something relevant for the web.

This came up as a user wrote to Vik G and Eben about Armata:

I am contacting you regarding the Armata font you have created (and possibly others, in future): I'd like to update it with three missing glyphs, which are used in Azerbaijani language, namely:

LATIN CAPITAL LETTER SCHWA LATIN SMALL LETTER SCHWA LATIN SMALL LETTER TURNED E (this one isn't critical, but it's the same as the previous one ... isn't Azerbaijani language assigned, it's rather Pan-Nigerian glyph. But since both look the same, I thought why not add that as well?

I will be using FontForge on Ubuntu. How you think I should submit the updated font so that it gets updated in Google Fonts as soon as possible, as well?

These 3 are in the latin-ext so if they are included in a font, they will be included in the API, but, while 0x0259 and 0x018f are in Adobe Latin 4, which I've used as a standard for Vietnamese support, 0x01dd isn't in any Adobe Latin set so would likely not be included soon.

@alexeiva @kalapi I think this be closed, as I see 0x018f and 0x0259 in the google-latin-plus_unique-glyphs.nam and not 0x01dd in any of them because it is used in Nigeria which we aren't targeting at the moment.
