This feature makes all variations of a selected character accessible. 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. Since many-to-one substitutions are not covered, ligatures would not appear in this table unless they were variant forms of another ligature.

When available, replaces default glyphs with alternate forms which provide better joining behavior.

Replaces a sequence of glyphs with a single glyph. This feature covers those ligatures which may be used for special effect, at the user's preference.

This feature changes selected figures from oldstyle to the default lining form.

This feature changes selected figures from the default lining style to oldstyle form.

This feature replaces the default glyphs with corresponding forms designed specifically for titling. These may be all-capital and/or larger on the body, and adjusted for viewing at larger sizes.

Replaces figure glyphs set on proportional widths with corresponding glyphs set on uniform (tabular) widths. Tabular widths will generally be the default, but this cannot be safely assumed. Of course this feature would not be present in monospaced designs.
