[XeTeX] graphite-info.tex

[Lorna Evans]

Thanks for your help.

I'm using XeTeX .99996 from TeX Live 2016/W32TeX.

I'm using version 3.0 of the font.

This command fires the feature properly:

\test{Padauk/GR:1970040686=1}

And none of these work:

\test{Padauk:+ulon}

\test{Padauk/GR:+ulon}

\test{Padauk/GR:+ulon=1}

\test{Padauk/GR:+ulon=True}

\test{Padauk/GR:script=mymr:+ulon}

\test{Padauk/GR:script=mymr:+ulon=1}

\test{Padauk/GR:script=mymr:+ulon=True}


Anyway, I have a workaround.

Lorna
