In reply to Encoding for frames, borders, ornaments:
Thank you both for your replies! I feel like a dork for using the word 'coding'. I edited the post, changed it to 'encoding'. Thanks Theunis.
Interesting Nick, I guess it's up to the designer then to choose the "logical" way to arrange the elements in play, so it makes some sense for the user.
Somehow I thought that every alternate had to be be placed in the PUA, those kind of things you learn once and repeat forever.
Reading Theunis reply makes me realize it's taken for granted that these ornaments should be included in the one and only final OTF file. But, I wonder: is it anachronistic to deliver the borders and ornaments in a separate file? Is it a "don't" by today standards? Otherwise I feel those treats would be kinda buried in the font, which will probably have its own set of alphabetic alternates as well.
Thanks again.
Gabriel
