Greetings, gurus!
I'm creating a custom handwritten font, and for verisimilitude want the second letter in a repetition (eg, grammar, spitting, chill) to appear differently.
I believe I could simply map another glyph to some available empty symbol space, but that would require multiple keystrokes to have it appear when using the font in typical word-processing mode.
As with MSWord's "smart" quotes, I would want the typist to type, for instance, "grammar" and have the second m be a different version of the first...
Is this sort of thing possible? Please feel free to dumb it down!
Cheers!
