[hmdd] Asp overlays dot on dotted consonants #76

Closed jvgaultney closed 4 years ago

jvgaultney commented 4 years ago

When an asp follows a dotted consonant the asp overlays the dot:

This is due to the change to right alignment. We didn't initially think that SR/SRT APs were needed on dotted glyphs so they are not there. Fix is to add those to all dotted glyphs.

Here's the result of the fix:

Note that the V aligns with the dot, not the asp here. You've never told us what should happen when there's both a dot+asp+V for hmdd. Is this correct (or at least acceptable for v1.0)?

This was not mentioned before because they don't use them together (rf. the charts I sent you), but thank you for being cautious. I'd gladly accept what is shown, leaving this option viable for some future generations to come :)

OK thanks. Please understand that all the explanatory test in the charts you sent is in Chinese, so I can only guess at the meaning. Even if I knew that the charts were comprehensive and showed every possible combination in the language that might not include unusual combinations for loan words. Those often lie outside the normal phonemics/graphemics of a language.
