I had added this comment to another board but was told piggybacking/changing the focus of the original post was a "no" so I'm moving this here. (I would delete my original post but since I can't, it's stuck there. Sorry.)
It's great to see all the new fonts & now have all these extra choices! I do have a question about how the all swash versions work in tandem with their respective fonts, however. For example, how would you use "Nayland Rough" & "Nayland Rough swashes" together so they work as one, on a word? Since they would be counted as 2 different fonts since they're 2 different line items in the font menu, how does you get these new swashes on either end of a word, so the word can be changed & swash-to-letter remains connected, not overlapping or having an extra space between them? (like the how box character code that one puts on either side of, for example, the Morgana font to make that work.) Is that possible?
I hope this makes sense – realized this is rather rambling...

I know what you mean. Some of them don't look like they're intended to connect to the letters - like the Nayland Rough and the Brighton - maybe those are intended to be used like underlines or something? The Morgana swashes definitely are supposed to connect to the letters though so I have no idea - I suppose you could painstakingly attempt to line them up by hand, but why would anyone do that instead of using the swash that's part of the main font? Hmmm....
