Hello,
I have fonts that have an alternate stylistics in the open type features.
Is there a way to set the alternate stylistics as the default style
(that will run automatically on any software even without setting the specific stylistics?)
Thank you!

Re: Set alternate stylisticset as the default style
It would probably be difficult, depending on the font.
In a font with stylistic sets, not all glyphs from A-Z and a-z may have alternate glyphs. Only if the sets contain a full 52 characters will they work as the default set.

Re: Set alternate stylisticset as the default style
If your fonts has the alternates defined in salt, then you can change the feature tag to rlig, which is required ligatures. Then it will be applied in all software, assuming they support OpenType layout features of course.

It just works ...
Is there a way to do this on many fonts in one action?
