Silly typo: \relax should be before \encoding, not after it.<br>
</blockquote><div><br>I can't say you didn't warn me about typos. Thanks for the correction - - Your .etx is working exactly as prescribed. I'm now getting the fj ligature automatically placed in the roman and italic forms in both my lining and text figure families. My thanks! Now I can finally typeset with this font without embarassing myself....<br>

<br>
If all glyphs in fglra8a and fglria8a are already in a slot, then there's no need to reencode them; just use the 8a fonts directly. This is related to the 8r.enc issue below.</blockquote><div><br>I see. <br></div><div>
</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">BTW, is 8a the proper encoding variant for the Alt fonts? I suspect 7a would be more characteristic of what's really in there.</blockquote>
<div><br>It's true that there is not a full glyphset in there. Just ligatures, swashes and fleurons. The glyphnames are nothing unusual: numbers 1-8 for the fleurons, V-Z for the f-ligatures, etc. Does that count as an Alternative font? <br>

I tried editing t1fgl.etx and adding a slot for the fj ligature. As a base<br>
case I simply switched all instances of {FI}{fi} with {FJ}{fj}, and sure<br>
enough the fj ligature appeared for all instances of fi in my test file.<br>
<br>
I then tried removing one of the slots (dotlessj, I believe) and setting a<br>
new slot for fj, following the syntax for the other f ligatures, and while<br>
my testfile compiled all the glyphs seemed to be shifted over, so the wrong<br>
glyphs were being placed. <br>

<br>
Sounds like you changed the total number of \setslot commands; ETX files are kind of fragile that way. Try LaTeXing t1fgl.etx and see how the slot numbers come out, then compare with an unmodified t1.etx.<div class="im">
</div></blockquote><div> <br>Thanks for the tip. I'll have to revisit this path and see if I can learn how to change the ETX file without mangling the result.<br><br>- - Christopher<br></div></div>
