APIUsage notes
HasGPOSKerningReports whether the registered Unicode font exposes GPOS kerning lookups
GetGPOSPairAdjustmentReturns the signed advance adjustment for an ordered glyph pair and can also return placement-aware X/Y offsets through the overload
GetGPOSContextualKernRunReturns per-glyph contextual kern adjustments by resolving GPOS Type 7 and Type 8 positioning rules over a glyph run
HasGPOSVerticalKernReports whether the registered Unicode font exposes vertical kerning or vertical proportional adjustment lookups
GetGPOSVerticalKernReturns signed vertical YAdvance adjustment from vkrn or vpal lookups for an ordered glyph pair
GetGPOSMarkOffsetReturns Mark-to-Base placement offsets for attaching a mark glyph to a base glyph
GetGPOSMarkMarkOffsetReturns Mark-to-Mark placement offsets for stacking one mark glyph on another
HasGPOSCursiveReports whether the registered Unicode font exposes GPOS cursive attachment lookups
GetGPOSCursiveAnchorsReturns entry and exit cursive anchors for a glyph when the font supplies a cursive attachment rule
GetGPOSMarkToLigatureOffsetReturns Mark-to-Ligature placement offsets for attaching a mark to a specific ligature component
GetGPOSLigatureComponentCountReturns the number of mark-attachment components recorded for a ligature glyph so callers can choose a valid ComponentIndex before calling GetGPOSMarkToLigatureOffset
ApplyMarkToLigatureShapingRecords ligature component ownership so mark-to-ligature offsets can be applied during text emission
sfKerningEnables GPOS pair-kerning adjustments during left-to-right Unicode text emission
sfMarkPositioningEnables GPOS Mark-to-Base and Mark-to-Mark offsets for combining marks
sfMarkToLigatureEnables GPOS Mark-to-Ligature offsets for marks attached to individual ligature components
sfCursiveAttachmentEnables GPOS cursive entry/exit anchor alignment during Unicode text emission, including right-to-left Arabic runs shaped by sfArabicGSUB
sfVerticalKerningEnables GPOS vkrn and vpal vertical advance adjustment in the vertical text output path

 

Usage notes

Pair kerning vraća signed advance i prilagodbe položaja u 1000-unit em. Contextual kerning razrješava Type 7 i Type 8 lookupove kroz niz glifova. Mark positioning obuhvaća Mark-to-Base, Mark-to-Mark i Mark-to-Ligature sidra. ApplyMarkToLigatureShaping priprema ligature component podatke na razini niza koje koristi sfMarkToLigature. Cursive attachment poravnava izlazno sidro jednog glifa s ulaznim sidrom sljedećeg glifa, što je najkorisnije nakon što native Arabic GSUB shaping proizvede font-specifične contextual glyph ID-jeve koji nose ta sidra. Emit put ih primjenjuje samo kada je odgovarajuća shaping zastavica uključena
