Activate styllistic sets

[arminunruh]

Ah you mean you want to use that font. I think there is a specific .woff font file just for that font, no?

[yourlocalboy]

Yes, But it has 9 different stylistic sets. The real cool one needs to be activated through open type when I use it in InDesign. Is that possible to get that activated in Lay theme somehow?

:O humm, I'm not sure, do you have the webfont or only the desktop font? maybe you would need the webfont to do this.

[yourlocalboy]

Yes, I got the web version. Goddammit :-/

Hey, so after playing around with it on http://www.abcdinamo.com/specimen/olicLd
I found out they use the css:

font-feature-settings: "ss09";

Ok so what you can do is create a textformat that uses the font.
Each textformat has a "HTML class"

Here it is "_Default" for example.

Ok now go to "Lay Options" -> "Custom CSS & HTML" and in "Custom <head> content" put:

<style>
._Default{
font-feature-settings: "ss09";
}
</style>

Of course instead of _Default, there should be the html class of your textformat.

Hello @arminunruh I can't manage to get this working with tabular numbers.

I am putting this in the <head> content:

<style>
._Default{
font-feature-settings: "ss01", "case", "tnum";
}
</style>

I have this in my Custom CSS:

body {
-moz-font-feature-settings: "ss01", "case", "tnum";
-ms-font-feature-settings: "ss01", "case", "tnum";
-o-font-feature-settings: "ss01", "case", "tnum";
-webkit-font-feature-settings: "ss01", "case", "tnum";
font-feature-settings: "ss01", "case", "tnum";
}

Am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance.

hey what is the font you use?
do you have a link to the page/website where u experience the issue?

[radovanvasak]

It is a Suisse Int’l from Swiss Typefaces available here: https://www.swisstypefaces.com/fonts/suisse/#font The numbers don't turn tabular here https://vasak.sk The tabular numbers function works fine in design softwares such as InDesign or Figma.

EDIT: The problem has been solved. I was using a desktop version of the font .otf instead of web version .woff2 Now it works.
