The user applies this feature to turn 2.o into 2.o (abbreviation for secundo).įunction: Replaces lining or oldstyle figures with superior figures (primarily for footnote indication), and replaces lowercase letters with superior letters (primarily for abbreviated French titles). One exception to the follows-a-figure rule is the numero character (U+2116), which is actually a ligature substitution, but is best accessed through this feature. The glyph for ffl replaces the sequence of glyphs f f l.įunction: Replaces default alphabetic glyphs with the corresponding ordinal forms for use after figures.

This feature covers the ligatures which the designer/manufacturer judges should be used in normal conditions. The user enters 3/4 in a recipe and gets the threequarters fraction.įunction: Replaces a sequence of glyphs with a single glyph which is preferred for typographic purposes. A user inputs the P in Poetica, and is presented with a choice of the four standard capital forms, the eight swash capital forms, the initial capital form and the small capital form.įunction: Replaces figures separated by a slash with 'common' (diagonal) fractions.

Since many-to-one substitutions are not covered, ligatures would not appear in this table unless they were variant forms of another ligature. This serves several purposes: An application may not support the feature by which the desired glyph would normally be accessed the user may need a glyph outside the context supported by the normal substitution, or the user may not know what feature produces the desired glyph. Function: This feature makes all variations of a selected character accessible.
