OpenType Features in Widgets
Many widgets in TablissNG allow for custom font settings. You can access these by opening a widget's settings and toggling the Open Font Settings link.
TablissNG supports advanced typography through OpenType features. This allows you to specify more than just the font name; you can also enable specific stylistic sets or typographic variants directly in the "Font" box.
How to use
Set the custom font by typing its name followed by the OpenType feature tag, separated by a colon:
Cambria:smcp
The example above will display the font using the Small Capitals set.
Multiple Features
You can include multiple OpenType features by appending additional tags with an ampersand (&):
Cambria:smcp&onum
This adds "Oldstyle Figures" (onum) along with "Small Capitals" (smcp).
