...Nevermind! It was because of the "All_Others" class! I moved every other glyph into its own class.

I also tried doing a chained lookup and it just... doesn't work at all. I've been going back and forth between these things to no avail :/

I've been trying to make cartouches work using a contextual lookup, but it only detects the first character inside and stops there... I think it just doesn't treat the looked-up character as having a cartouche character after it, so it's not re-applied after each character :(

Note to self: never uncheck "Hints" when generating fonts

Honestly the more I think about it the crazier it gets. I originally started making this pixel font for my translation of Deltarune into toki pona, but I'm addicted to playing with this language :p

Feature of my awesome sitelen pona font:
- LTR and RTL and boustrophedon text support (like hieroglyphics)
- Vertical text support (like Japanese)
- nasin nanpa pona ligatures
- A bunch of alt glyphs to choose from (if applicable) by adding a number after the character

Coming soon... maybe...

How does one create OTF glyph substitutions? I've been trying to to make cartouches work on my sitelen pona font for two hours straight >:(

I do not endorse "Common Sitelen Pona" and encourage toki pona community members to ignore it for the time being. It is flawed. It contains glyphs that represent commercial products, it contains usages that are only a year old (so it's impossible to gauge the future of their usage), and more

"mi ken sitelen pona tawa teje, li ken sitelen pona tawa soto kin". the phrase from "li" onwards is written facing the left. Directional words (teje and soto) remain facing their original directions.

"mi ken sitelen pona tawa teje, li ken sitelen pona tawa soto kin". the phrase from "li" onwards is written facing the left. Directional words (teje and soto) remain facing their original directions.

Concept: bidirectional sitelen pona, kind of like hieroglyphs

Does anyone know any UCSUR-compliant sitelen pona fonts that support nasin nanpa pona combination glyphs (other than sitelen seli kiwen)? I really like how it's handled in that font :)

CLDR 2025-06-09

After extensive community consultations, these are the names of languages and countries I can endorse in the Toki Pona language for the Common Locale Data Repository (CLDR) project of the Unicode Consortium this year. More to come in 2026 inshallah. #tokipona

Typing this made me realize "welcome" is a portmanteau of "well" and "come" similar to how "farewell" is "fare well" :o

My favorite quirk in toki pona is to flip "o X pona!" greetings into "X o pona [tawa sina]!"

o kama pona = come well!
kama sina o pona tawa sina = may your arrival be good for you!

I wonder if it's because of the OTF format? I just checked a text file and it's notably missing the character extensions on lon, pi, tawa, etc.
