So, if I understand you, I'd have to do something like this:
Code:
font-variant-alternates: styleset(alt-a);
For each and every alternate letter, is that right?
And the fallback would simply be the non-alternative? Is that right?
I know this seems like I'm overthinking it, but I'm reasonably
sure that I've
never had to deal with swashes, etc. in the PUA that have no coding at all. Nuthin', nada--hell the OT stuff doesn't even show up in my font manager, which is not some el-cheapo freebie, either. In fact, to see these suckers, (outside of, say, INDD), I have to open them in a font editing/modification/creation program.
Okay, more digging on my part. There's gotta be a more-obvious answer that I'm simply overlooking.
