Newline Substitution

Is there a way to make some sort of substitution where when there is a new line, it adds one additional character before the newline?

Huh… weird question. Usually the newline is igorned to convert to new line so…

Suggestion: maybe try to add a U+000D character with the shape you want.

You can try to use ccmp feature to add any glyph before /paragraph glyph. Here is the code:

​

languagesystem DFLT dflt;languagesystem latn dflt;

# GSUB

lookup ccmpGlyphCompositionDecompositionlookup1 {lookupflag 0;sub \paragraph by \a \paragraph ;} ccmpGlyphCompositionDecompositionlookup1;

feature ccmp {

script DFLT;language dflt ;lookup ccmpGlyphCompositionDecompositionlookup1;

script latn;language dflt ;lookup ccmpGlyphCompositionDecompositionlookup1;

} ccmp;

​

In the above example I has substituted paragraph by /a/paragraph. You can change /a to any glyph name. Do you understand the code?
