Smart font optional features for Graphite and OpenType fonts/en

LibreOffice supports optional font features for the smart font technologies SIL Graphite and OpenType. In LibreOffice, users can access the optional font features by setting extended font names in the fonts dialog. You need to enter IDs from below table after the font name. A user interface for setting the features is implemented in version 6.2.

Examples
For example for the font "Linux Libertine G": or a combination of features:
 * (small caps)
 * (proportional old style numbers)



Please note that most fonts only support a subset of following optional features!

Limitations
Limitations of the current support is that there is no support for optional OpenType features in the OOXML export. Also, the ODF 1.2 standard does not yet provide OpenType optional features support. This feature is scheduled for the standard revision ODF 1.3.
