Re: Font help



also, on a general note, diacritical marks in postscript are not as good as in 
TTF fonts, because there is no 'anchor point' for them specified in the 
modified character. For instance, the fatHa does not change it's vertical 
position depending on the height of the preceding letter. i.e. in postscript 
the fatHa has a fixed vertical position. The consequence of this is that the 
fatHa in the font file must either be placed very high, to avoid crossing 
e.g. the laam, or the printing software must adjust the height of each haraka 
depending on the character is is modifying.
