Re: More on text complement fonts

>In which styles should they be available?

In theory, they should be available in all the styles that the Cork
fonts are available in, but that's quite a lot of MF work!

Once a suitable standard has been worked out, I'll include it in the
fontinst distribution, which means it'll be available for all the
PostScript fonts.

>I don't see the need for small caps variants, but ...

It would be nice if the u&lc variant would also serve for the c&sc
version, but there may be a problem with some of the currency glyphs,
for example <rupiah> (Rp) and <florin> (f).  Should these be set in
c&sc or in u&lc?

Good point.

I think dingbats such as arrows would be best left in a dingbats font,
unless they're very commonly used.

Thanks!

Is this the glyph called <colonmonetary> in the Adobe Expert encoding?

All of the currency glyphs in the Adobe Expert encoding will be
included.

Yes, if the text symbol font contains oldstyle digits, it will also
contain oldstyle variants of some other glyphs, including <cent> and
<dollar>.
