Adding OpenType features: Long GSUB Strings

[William]

This morning I have made a test font using what I have learned in this thread, what I have learned in the following thread and trying some of the glyphs that I made yesterday.

OpenType features and FontCreator 7 and PagePlus X5

The FontCreator 7.0.0 (build 396) manual has the following. 5.4.3.5.2 Supported substitutions Is there a list of all of the OpenType features that FontCreator 7 supports please? I know that there is the default script that shows which features are used in the default script. In the OpenType specification I am looking at the aalt feature. http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/features_ae.htm This appears that it might be the feature being used in the last illustration in the following …

It works well in Serif PagePlus X5.
