Fontconfig is getting support for rules which select based on and/or set the otf features. Were we to add an unencoded zeroslash and a style set feature for it, users soon could choose that at the fontconfig level as their preferred version. Or at the application level for publishing documents. Well, I really hope you will add a slashed zero character. I wouldn't know how to do it, otherwise I'd already have done it. Thanks Just to be clear, my point is that we can add a slashed zero w/o upsetting those who prefer the current dotted zero, by making the slashed an option. Several font familes have a 'zero' GSUB which replaces the normal zero by a slashed zero. DejavSansMono could do that to replace the dotted zero with a slashed zero and, given that such substitutions soon will be easy to use with most modern X11 software, it should be enough for those who prefer a slash. |
