I wonder how common this feature is -- Helvetica Now is a kind of showcase for Monotype so I am not surprised that the feature is supported there. A few more fonts using contextual ordinals ... Commercial: Proxima Nova, Bookmania – Mark Simonson FF Mark, FF Quadraat – FontFont Jannon Sans – Storm Type JJannon – Optimo Maxine Sans – ActiveSphere Normatica, Samo Sans Pro – CarnokyType PF Bague Sans Pro, PF Beau Sans Pro, PF DIN Text Pro, PF Highway Sans Pro, PF Regal Pro – Parachute Fonts Sarun Pro – Strawix Skolar – Rosetta FOSS: Acariya, Balava, Guru, Jivita, Kabala, Lekhana, Odana, Open Sans, Pali, Sukhumala, Talapanna, Verajja, Verajja Sans – all by Bhikkhu Pesala Quite a few different approaches to the same feature/issue. So if you have any of those fonts you may want to play some more. lacerto 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is the most useful method to just open existing fonts and see how specific features have been implemented ? I use two methods. One is opening a font as you mentioned, the other is looking on the web for example code/tutorials. Well, also via Microsoft's repository of OT features to better understand what a feature is supposed to do. Glyphs application's website has a bunch of good tutorials. But other websites have them too. lacerto 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
