I played with OpenType features some time ago, when someone wanted to display special Bulgarian glyphs and created a proof-of-concept epub.

If font-feature-settings: "swsh" doesn't work, you might have to select a particular stylistic set using ssXX or salt.

You might find the OpenType Tester website useful for experimenting with OpenType features.

As you've probably already guessed, not all apps and readers support rendering swashes and/or selecting stylistic sets.

MWAHAHAHA.. the "as you've probably already guessed" comment left me in giggles. YUP, I'm pretty sure 'bout that. But if I can make this sucker fallback nicely, huzzah.

Thanks Doits. You're the best. I shall revert, when I knoweth more.
