Pentzlin, Karl (), Comments on Public Review Issue #122ĭavis, Mark (), Public Review Issue #122: Proposal for Additional Deprecated Characters The following Unicode-related documents record the purpose and process of defining specific characters in the Latin Extended-A block:įreytag, Asmus (), Comments on the proposed deprecation of characters (public review item #122) #Fontforge apostrophe code 1 finding an image (a portion of text is the best) with a fairly good resolution of the font 2 enlarging it in Inkscape up to the font size of 750 pts, which correspond to 1000 units in FontForge by default (I made a canvas in Inkscape with a precisely positioned base line) 3 manually drawing every character in Inkscape (no autotrace. when you type an apostrophe on your keyboard it is usually U+0027 '. The apostrophe first appeared in the printed universe in Italy, 16th century, as a curved shape to signify elision copied from handwritten classical Italian poetry. Word's "smart quotes" feature may substitute some other character, such as U+2019. The apostrophe was equivalent to our 'Gotchas' or 'Wannas' in the sense that it was a way to take the stiffness of the text away by making it sound more human-like. APOSTROPHE S OPERATOR (highlighted in red andblue). Then if your font doesn't contain U+2019 it'll substitute the glyph for that character from some other font. Example Smalltalk-72 session showing U+1CEB2. OLD PERSONAL COMPUTER WITH MONITOR IN PORTRAIT ORIENTATION. BLACKRIGHT TRIANGLE CARET (between lowercase c and d), highlighted in red. Interestingly, I don't think Courier has a real glyph for U+2019 (as in, a slanted closing single quote distinct from the ASCII vertical apostrophe/quote) either, but it probably has a copy of the ASCII apostrophe/quote glyph in that character slot. The real problem is Word's stupid feature. When I'm forced to use Word at all, I disable all "change what I typed while I'm typing it" features as a matter of course. But as you say, you can't control what users will do. It might be because my Adobe suite is a bit old now, CS2, but considering it's a font I made, it's probably my fault.So I think the way to deal with it in your font is to copy appropriate glyphs into both U+2019 and U+0027, as well as any other character codes Word may substitute.
But since I created it in order to use it in InDesign, it is a bit problematic. It works fine in Word and other places I tried, just InDesign (And Illustrator). I figured it might be linked to the design itself, so I copy-pasted the apostrophe of a "real" font, but it won't display either.
I ran back "Find Problems.", but it can't see anything wrong with it. This is where I encountered a problem: The apostrophe won't display in InDesign, I only get the little square. I followed the steps here: to troubleshoot it, fixed all the issues (and there were a lot, since it is the very first font I've designed), then exported it to test it out. I just finished designing a font with FontForge.
