.IX Item "-"
\&\fBot2kpx\fR doesn't implement all of the OpenType specification.
Things that are missing include: support for font files containing
multiple fonts, LookupTables with LookupTypes other than 2,
\&\*(L"kern\*(R" tables with format other than 0 and ValueRecords with
other types of data than just XAdvance data.
.Sp
Most of these limitations won't matter, since the missing features
are rare (the only fonts I know of that use them are the non-western fonts
that come with Adobe Reader). Furthermore, many of these features define
(according to the OpenType specification) \fI\*(L"subtle, device-dependent
adjustments at specific font sizes or device resolutions\*(R"\fR;
since there's no way to express such adjustments in \fIafm\fR format,
ignoring them seems to be the only option anyway.
.IP "\fB\-\fR" 4
.IX Item "-"
\&\fBot2kpx\fR collects kerning data first from the \*(L"kern\*(R" table, then from
all LookupTables associated with the \*(L"kern\*(R" feature; if a kerning pair
occurs multiple times, the first value seen is chosen.
There are (or may be) several issues with this approach:
.RS 4
.IP "\-" 4
The OpenType specification says that fonts in \fIotf\fR format shouldn't
use the \*(L"kern\*(R" table at all, just the lookups from the \*(L"\s-1GPOS\*(R"\s0 table.
Many such fonts do, however, contain a \*(L"kern\*(R" table, but no \*(L"\s-1GPOS\*(R"\s0 table;
so we use the \*(L"kern\*(R" table anyway.
.IP "\-" 4
Instead of reading all LookupTables, it might be better to let the user
specify a script and language and process only the LookupTables for
those values.
However, at least in the fonts I checked, all script/language combinations
eventually point to the \fIsame\fR \*(L"kern\*(R" LookupTables, so this approach
wouldn't make any difference (apart from further complicating the code).
