Use locl OpenType feature?



  • I am testing OT features in DrawBot, and I’m noticing that the locl feature does not seem to be supported. For a given font with locl feature included, it is not listed in listOpenTypeFeatures(my_font), also language tagging does not seem to affect the text in that regard.

    Would it be possible to access the locl feature somehow?

    use language('nl') to switch between languages, as DrawBot is typesetting environment...

    font('/Users/frederik/Downloads/source-code-pro-2.030R-ro-1.050R-it/OTF/SourceCodePro-Regular.otf')
    
    char = "б"
    
    fontSize(200)
    text(char, (10, 100))
    
    language("sr")
    text(char, (150, 100))
