    1. Show All Glyphs
    2. Access All Alternates
      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.
    3. Contextual Alternates
      When available, replaces default glyphs with alternate forms which provide better joining behavior.
    4. Contextual Ligatures
      Replaces a sequence of glyphs with a single glyph which is preferred for typographic purposes. Unlike other ligature features, clig specifies the context in which the ligature is recommended. This capability is important in some script designs and for swash ligatures.
    5. Discretionary Ligatures
      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.
    6. Denominators
      Replaces selected figures which follow a slash with denominator figures.
    7. Fractions
      Replaces figures separated by a slash with 'common' (diagonal) fractions.
    8. Historical Forms
      This feature replaces the default (current) forms with the historical alternates, e.g. the long form of s or the old Fraktur k.
    9. Standard Ligatures
      Replaces a sequence of glyphs with a single glyph, e.g. 'fi', 'fl'. This feature is enabled by default and cannot currently be disabled.
    10. Lining Figures
      This feature changes selected figures from oldstyle to the default lining form.
    11. Localized Forms
    12. Numerators
      Replaces selected figures which precede a slash with numerator figures, and replaces the typographic slash with the fraction slash.
    13. Oldstyle Figures
      This feature changes selected figures from the default lining style to oldstyle form.
    14. Ordinals
      Replaces default alphabetic glyphs with the corresponding ordinal forms for use after figures.
    15. Ornaments
      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.
    16. Proportional Figures
      Replaces figure glyphs set on uniform (tabular) widths with corresponding glyphs set on glyph-specific (proportional) 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.
    17. Subscript
      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.
    18. Superscript
      Replaces lining or oldstyle figures with superior figures (primarily for footnote indication), and replaces lowercase letters with superior letters (primarily for abbreviated French titles).
    19. Tabular Figures
      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.
