The Garava Type v3.74 is © Bhikkhu Pesala, 2016, but freely available from his website.  As it has 6 styles, 3000+  Glyphs and he designs with PagePlus in mind, I just downloaded it.  

 

To see what difference it makes, I applied it to an existinf PPlus file where it displays with a decorative set of capitals (top half of pic).  If I just select it in LibreOffice, it displays "normally" (bottom half of pic).

 

No doubt this is a quirk of a en-coding somewhere as the decorative caps are down in the "Latin Extended-D" specials, but can anyone throw light on why it's showing up in what I thought was a "standard" type text in a *.ppp but not in LibreOffice?

You're right "Wiki entry:Support of OpenType optional features limited to localized forms (locl) "

 

I'm still a bit baffled why PPlus X9 has decided to unilaterally (?) use an opentype extended-set character (substituting U+E2D1 for U+0054) for the capital "T" when something like OpenSans (with 10 styles) is still displaying correctly?

 

Probably just another time-waster to find out why PPlus X9 is different?  

 

I'll stick to another font for now!

Like most of Bhikkhu Pesala's free Unicode fonts, the name 'Garava' ends in 'a', not 'an'.
