At the very least it needs to explicitly document the set of stylistic alternates for the SF font family so that we know what they all do (it looks like there might be more than in your document too; I can’t think of a reason for using one, two, three and then seven without also using four, five and six).
Alastair,
At the time I wrote that document, I only had time to figure out a few of the selectors. I have since found out #6 (“High Legibility”). According to the Mac Font Panel, #4 is “Stylistic Set 4”, whatever that is. #5 appears to do nothing, AFAICT.
Also, I finally got time to collect the work I’ve done and make a convenience class to use these San Francisco font features. See here:
https://github.com/djfitz/SFFontFeatures <https://github.com/djfitz/SFFontFeatures>
I can’t guarantee that anything will work, or if there are other features I’m missing. For now, I have support for 11 features:
• Straight-sided six and nine
• Open Four
• Vertically centered colon
• High Legibility
• One Storey a
• Upper Case Small Capitals
• Lower Case Small Capitals
• Contextual Fractional Forms
• Monospaced/Proportional Numbers
• Superiors/Superscripts
• Inferiors/Subscripts
Feel free to try this out, and let me know if things work for you.
Doug Hill
