The results weren't quite what I'd hoped for, but the results are
usable. Thank you.
The text I principally tried the commands out on was Tai Tham text <LOW
PA, SIGN II, TONE-1, SAKOT, NA, OA BELOW, TONE-2>. I used corrections
for the bugs that had been affecting its rendering.
It seems that the commands prevent shaping across the cursor, but do
not inhibit shaping within the former cluster. I was only doing shaping
on complete orthographic syllables, so entering a cluster chiefly had
the effect of losing all positioning of marks and making the text
unreadable. However, the behaviour may make a good teaching aid!
I then tried the command on Thai, and there the commands worked well.
I therefore added to LANA-OTF.flt, for marks not in complete syllables,
the command:
("(M)" [ (1 = ) ] ) ; For stepping through.
I attach the results of not stepping through (labelled 0), and
stepping through by 1 to 7 characters (labelled 1 to 7). The result
is not so good at 3 steps - I think because the extra rendering
command does not handle SAKOT. Aggressive use of dotted circles might
improve the display. I don't know why, at the end, there is a delay in
TONE-2 rising to its proper height.
C-S-f is not a good key sequence for me. C-S is one of my X-keyboard
switching combinations - I chose it for compatibility with the Xming X
server.
Richard.
