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.

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.

Replaces figures separated by a slash with 'common' (diagonal) fractions.

This feature replaces the default (current) forms with the historical alternates, e.g. the long form of s or the old Fraktur k.

Some ligatures were in common use in the past, but appear anachronistic today. Some fonts include the historical forms as alternates, so they can be used for a 'period' effect. This feature replaces the default (current) forms with the historical alternates.

Replaces a sequence of glyphs with a single glyph, e.g. 'fi', 'fl'. This feature is enabled by default and cannot currently be disabled.

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

Gives the user access to ornament glyphs (e.g. fleurons, dingbats and border elements), either by replacing the bullet character with a selection from the full set of available ornaments, or replacing specific "lower ASCII" characters with ornaments assigned to them.

This feature turns lowercase characters into small capitals. Forms related to small capitals, such as oldstyle figures, may be included.

Stylistic alternatives grouped as sets.
