I'm all for beautiful and better typography... but for a site that laments the lack of feature awareness, it sure didn't use the opportunity to teach me something. I don't know any more about those features than I did before reading it.
- pjtr 12y agoI wondered the same. Searching for OpenType and Stylistic Alternates I found the OpenType playground [1][2]. (I had to manually add a CSS @font-face rule to use a OpenType font.)

- r12s 12y agoDitto for Hoefler's explanation of Stylistic Sets, using Whitney as an example: http://www.typography.com/fonts/whitney/features/whitney-stylistic-sets http://www.typography.com/fonts/whitney/features/whitney-sty... As an aside I agree with the article, esp. the need for "a type interface that is consistent throughout [Adobe's] apps".
