`script_code` does the reverse of `script_name`: it takes a long
script name and returns a 4-letter script code.
Both `script_name` and `script_code` raise KeyError by default,
but can optionally return a default value instead.
As Martin Hosken reported in https://github.com/fonttools/fonttools/pull/1096,
feaLib currently incorrectly handles the case where a marked input
glyph sequence in a contextual chaining sub/pos rule is split into
multiple runs, rather than being a single continuous run of ' marked
glyphs.
The consensus there was to raise a syntax error like makeotf instead of
second-guessing and silently fixing it like fontforge does.
... instead of a glyphMap dict.
The parser does not actually need a reverse glyph order mapping as
it is not interested in knowing the glyphID from the glyph name,
but only whether a glyph is in the font or not.
This makes it easier for client code (e.g. ufo2ft feature compiler)
to use the feaLib Parser, without having to first construct and pass
it a glyphMap argument.
In OT kern subtable header, the format is the high byte of 'coverage'
bit mask (bits 8-15), and the low byte (bits 0-7) is the actual coverage
bits.
In AAT kern, it's the opposite: the coverage flags are the high byte,
whereas the subtable format is the low byte.
Also adjusted the test data, and set coverage to 1 for OT kern subtable
(which means the usual horizontal kerning).
Beyond composing ligatures, AAT finite-state transducers can also
execute insertion actions without rewriting existing glyphs. The
corresponding actions have almost the same structure as ligature
actions, so we can share a lot of the plumbing within fonttools.
This renaming is in preparation of a larger change to support `morx`
ables with insertions.
Before this change, we were emitting XML with numeric values for `morx`
coverage flags. Now, we emit XML that makes more sense to human readers.
XML files from previous versions of fonttools can still be parsed.
Before this change, the following glyph class:
@Vowels = [@Vowels.lc @Vowels.uc y Y];
Would be written back as:
@Vowels = [@Vowels.lc = [a e i o u]; @Vowels.uc = [A E I O U]; y Y];
Which is clearly invalid. It seems for GlyphClass.asFea() to work
correctly here we should be using GlyphClassName not GlyphClass
for the nested classes (similar to the code at the beginning of
parse_glyphclass_()).
