This feature covers those ligatures which may be used for special effect, at the user's preference. Then, if the glyph needs repositioning, an application may apply a single adjustment, pair adjustment, or contextual adjustment positioning lookup to modify its position.įunction: Replaces a sequence of glyphs with a single glyph which is preferred for typographic purposes. Recommended implementation: First, a single or contextual substitution lookup implements the subscript glyph (GSUB lookup type 1). The application can use this feature to automatically access the superior figures (more legible than scaled figures) for footnotes, or the user can apply it to Mssr to get the classic form.įunction: The 'subs' feature may replace a default glyph with a subscript glyph, or it may combine a glyph substitution with positioning adjustments for proper placement.

The application can use this feature to automatically access the inferior figures (more legible than scaled figures).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). May also replace lowercase characters with alphabetic inferiors.

In the string 11/17 selected by the user, the application turns the 11 into numerators, and the slash into a fraction slash when the user applies the fraction feature.įunction: Replaces lining or oldstyle figures with inferior figures (smaller glyphs which sit lower than the standard baseline, primarily for chemical or mathematical notation). The glyph for ffl replaces the sequence of glyphs f f l.įunction: Replaces selected figures which precede a slash with numerator figures, and replaces the typographic slash with the fraction slash. 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. In the string 11/17 selected by the user, the application turns the 17 into denominators when the user applies the fraction feature.įunction: Replaces figures separated by a slash with 'common' (diagonal) fractions. 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 selected figures which follow a slash with denominator figures.

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.
