Typeface Development Bundle for TextMate
1st Mar 2007
For Mac users who rock the magnificent TextMate text editor, I’ve put together a small typeface development Bundle.
At the moment it covers Adobe’s OpenType Feature File Specification used by the AFDKO. As well as syntactic highlighting, there are also a couple of snippets for creating features, tables etc.
Download
Typeface development Bundle for TextMate v1.1 (2007-03-02)
Update
Tal Leming generously donated the contents of his own bundle for feature files. I’ve incorporated some of his snippets and keywords and released a new version, above. There’s also a bug fix related to single quote use in substitutes (thanks Ben!).
Installation
If you’ve got TextMate installed, you should be able to just unzip the archive and double-click the .tmbundle file.
(Windows users can try Adam Twardoch’s Typographic extensions for UltraEdit-32.)

Hi Brook, thanks for the great TM bundle, I use it (almost) on a daily basis. I did modify the substitute tab trigger, though:
sub ${1:glyphs} by ${2:${1/\s/_/g}};$0That way, when you type ‘f f i’, you immediately get ‘f_f_i’ on the other end, and when you hit tab another time, the f_f_i part is selected, in case I want something other than f_f_i. I find this more useful than the original thing.
Cheers, Eric.

Hi Eric, glad you find the bundle useful :)
That’s a good idea, I’ll look into changing sub for the next version. I think enough people use the underscore convention. I think it’s safe to say it’s recommended practise.
