* [[Featuresets]], and here some of common option for {{cmd|definefontfeature}}
 
** <code>onum=yes</code> for old style numbers, vs <code>lnum=yes</code> for lining numbers
 
** <code>kern=yes</code> for kerning
 
** See [[Ligatures]] (2017). <code>liga=yes</code> for common ligature and <code>dlig=yes</code> for discretionary ligature (like st), <code>calt=yes</code> for contextual alternates.
 
** for small caps, the font must propose Caps variation like "EBGaramondSC12-Regular.otf" et "AlegreyaSC-Regular.otf"
