Summary: Feature request: setting some OpenType layout tags for each font Product: fontconfig Version: 2.5 Platform: Other OS/Version: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: low Component: library AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] CC: fedora-fonts-bugs-list@redhat.com It would be nice if one could specify some default OpenType tag settings for each font, much like one can specify the anti-aliasing mode etc. Some examples where I think this is useful: - choosing some stylistic alternates (salt), for instance DejaVu Sans has more easily distinguishable capital I and capital J that can be accessed by turning on salt. It's a bit unreasonable for the user to have to do this in every application, even if all applications supported this feature... - switching to tabular figures (tnum) for fonts that default to proportional figures. Most applications expect figures to be monospaced. If a font doesn't default to this, things like tables or line numbering can look pretty bad. Granted, the proper way for apps to do this would be to request this feature when needed, e.g. one can do this with XeTeX. But most apps are unaware of OpenType features today... -- Configure bugmail: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Fedora-fonts-bugs-list mailing list Fedora-fonts-bugs-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-fonts-bugs-list
