font-feature-settings, stylesets #243

Hi there,

I wonder how many stylesets does public sans have? In figma, it looks like there's an alternate character style of “g” by usingfont-feature-settings: 'ss02' on, 'ss06' on, 'salt' on, 'ss01' on;, but it's not working on chrome.

Could you help to make it more clear for me?

Thanks a lot.

Just one stylistic set - ss01 (salt is the same) And ss01 only affects the g and the l.

ss01 and salt

I tried this, not working. Did I write it wrong?

Are you trying this using fonts from Google Fonts, or locally served? Google Fonts API does not support stylistic sets (currently, AFAIK). So if you want to use ss01 you will need to host the fonts yourself.

Thanks, that makes sense. Will try local fonts then.
