- In Context, characters.data is where the data from char-def.lua
- resides. The file is huge (>4.4 MB as of 2016) and only a stripped
- down version is part of the isolated font loader. Nevertheless, we
- include an excerpt generated by the mkcharacters script that contains
- a subset of the fields of each character defined and some extra
- metadata.
-
- Currently, these are (compare the mkcharacters script!)
-
- · "direction"
- · "mirror"
- · "category"
- · "textclass"
-
- The directional information is required for packages like Simurgh [0]
- to work correctly. In an early stage [1] it was necessary to load
- further files from Context directly, including the full blown version
- of char-def. Since we have no use for most of the so imported
- functionality, the required parts have been isolated and are now
- instated along with luaotfload-characters.lua. We can extend the set
- of imported features easily should it not be enough.
