Defect Report

Noto Sans Old Hungarian regular font doesn't have Capital ligatures. At least Qu, X and W (forms these ligatures see below) required

Font

NotoSansOldHungarian-Regular.ttf and otf versions, too.

Reasons:

There are in latin based Hungarian script several times uses letters: "W" frequently used in noble names like "Wass Albert", "Wesselényi Miklós" or in foreign names. "X" used in foreign names like Xerxes "Q" used in foreign names like Quasimodo My suggestion is the following: Don't use it as discrete ligatures, because automations may make spelling problems, as already described in "noto-source" project issue notofonts/latin-greek-cyrillic#242. Use it only "liga" section.

Screenshot

q_w_x_for_noto I suggested two kind of key combinations, all required, because might be pressed with Caps-lock or without Caps-lock

@marekjez86 : Could you do this modification? I don't understand the drawing philosophy of noto-sources. I just only understand the ligature specifications.

@marekjez86 Marek, it seems, You've got a lot of work. I with one of the colleague working on LO Old-Hungarian capabilities. Without this tree capital ligatures is meaningless talking about ligatures in a text editor at all. Is there anybody else, who could do this small modification?

ghost commented 3 years ago

@marekjez86 @google-admin We hardly need this tree capital ligatures, which are frequently used in texts transformed from Latin based Hungarian texts. (X, Qu and W letters)

@marekjez86 : Marek, may I try it? If I couldn't do this, I will drop a comment. If I could, I open an issue in the noto-source project, and a Pull Request.

I'll look at it tonight. Thanks

@nizarsq : Nizar, thank you! Be careful, "Qu", "W", "X" ligatures MUST NOT to be defined in "discrete ligature" (dlig) section, MUST NOT to be used without ZWJ! If you implement the other capital ligatures, that might to be discrete ligatures (without ZWJ), too. Thanks!

@nizarsq Nizar, you don't need to do anything. One of my friends working on it! He can work quickly.
