Font creation

[Dakana]

Hi all!

I am working on an alphabet in which the consonants have three different forms (initial, medial and final) rather like Arabic. I want to be able to type this using a customized English keyboard layout (I use MSKLC for this). Anyways, I am having no end of trouble finding out how to make a font that does this. I'm using HighLogic Font Creator 6.0. Basically, how do I get a consonant to automatically change depending on its location in the word?

Thanks in advance for advice all

Widely supported except for more elaborate features, also features are bound to certain codepoints in Unicode, so YMMV:

Conscripter's joy because it allows you to define your own rules as you need them for your script, but it's mostly unsupported:

Might be more flexible than MSKLC:

Font = Typeface + Style + Size. i think you're looking for typefaces.

I use ukelele for this stuff, but you could always use dead keys
