USING INCOPY CS4 187 Typography See also "Installing fonts" on page 185 Apply OpenType font attributes Use the Character panel or Control panel to apply OpenType font attributes, such as fractions and swashes to text. For more information on OpenType fonts, see www.adobe.com/go/opentype. See also "Insert glyphs and special characters" on page 104 "OpenType fonts" on page 186 Apply OpenType font attributes 1 Select text. 2 In the Character panel or Control panel, make sure that an OpenType font is selected. 3 Choose OpenType from the Character panel menu, and then select an OpenType attribute, such as Discretionary Ligatures or Fractions. Features not supported in the current font appear in square brackets, such as [Swash]. You can also select OpenType font attributes when defining a paragraph or character style. Use the OpenType Features section of the Style Options dialog box. OpenType font attributes When you use an OpenType font, you can select specific OpenType features from the Control panel or Character panel menu when formatting text or when defining styles. Note: OpenType fonts vary greatly in the number of type styles and kinds of features they offer. If an OpenType feature is unavailable, it's surrounded in square brackets (such as [Swash]) in the Control panel menu. Discretionary Ligatures Font designers may include optional ligatures that shouldn't be turned on in all circumstances. Selecting this option allows these additional optional ligatures to be used, if they are present. For more information on ligatures, see "Apply ligatures to letter pairs" on page 195. Fractions Numbers separated by a slash (such as 1/2) are converted to a fraction character, when fractions are available. Ordinal Ordinal numbers such as 1st and 2nd are formatted with superscript letters (1st and 2nd) when ordinals are available. Letters such as the superscript a and o in the Spanish words segunda (2a) and segundo (2o) are also typeset properly. Swash When available, regular and contextual swashes, which may include alternate caps and end-of-word alternatives, are provided. Titling Alternatives When available, characters used for uppercase titles are activated. In some fonts, selecting this option for text formatted in both uppercase and lowercase letters can yield undesired effects. Contextual Alternatives When available, contextual ligatures and connecting alternates are activated. Alternate characters are included in some script typefaces to provide better joining behavior. For example, the letter pair "bl" in the word "bloom" can be joined so that it looks more like handwriting. This option is selected by default. All Small Caps For fonts that include real small caps, selecting this option turns characters into small caps. For more information, see "Change the case of type" on page 197. Updated 29 April 2009
