Enhance OpenType feature selection in custom views

Post by nabsltd »

I'd like the ability to search for more than one OpenType feature on a custom view, plus the ability to negate the search for a feature. This would make it much easier to find fonts that (for example) have kerning but no capital spacing.

Right now, the only way is to create separate views that have the features you want, tag the found fonts with something like "Feat-KERN" and "Feat-CPSP", then do a tag search for fonts with "Feat-KERN" but no "Feat-CPSP". This sort of thing clutters up the tags far too much if you want to track even a dozen OpenType features.

We have just released MainType 10. You can now select up to three features in custom views.
