Thus, for a serif Flex, the middle point should be at Y = 0
and the end points should be at or above Y = -6.
A special note to designers of non-Roman
Macintosh fonts!
With the advent of Apple’s System 7.1 with WorldScript,
fonts can be assigned to a particular script system. This
assignment is achieved by using a range of font ID numbers
from 16384 through 32767. In other words, if you wish to
design a Thai font for use in the Thai system, by simply
entering a font ID of 26625, you have linked the font to the
Thai scripting system. Perhaps you need a right to left font.
Simply use an ID # in the range for the Arabic or Hebrew
systems, switch to those systems, and your font will type
right to left in those operating systems! A table of the more
popular script systems and their assigned ID range is at the
right. For more information on this, please refer to Inside
Macintosh Volume VI, pages 13-6 through 13-9. Also see
the section on KCHR resources in your Using
Fontographer on your Macintosh manual.
