Keyboard mapping a font?

[Soquili]

You would actually need a comletely new Operating system. Windows, Linux, OS-X, and Unix all have special uses for many key combinations which make them unusable for a font.

I think you will need to do an OpenType font. (1) the shear number of mappings you can do. (2) you can place characters that will become combined with lower register characters into what we would consider diacriticals and the like. The customer will need to use that font as a paragraph style but the applications such as Word, InDesign and PagePlus will do the combinations for you.

This will be a labor of love. You will need to have printouts for the mappings so they know what to type and a key press for the application(s) to add "marks" or to combine characters.

I believe this will be outside what TT can accomplish by itself. I could be wrong. It can be done with TT and MS' tool (free) to add the OTF features, and of course FontLab can handle it all.

Good luck.
