font-variant

normal

Resets all subproperties of font-variant to their inital value.

none

Sets font-variant-ligatures to none and resets all other font feature properties to their initial value.

<common-lig-values> = [ common-ligatures | no-common-ligatures ]

<discretionary-lig-values> = [ discretionary-ligatures | no-discretionary-ligatures ]

<historical-lig-values> = [ historical-ligatures | no-historical-ligatures ]

<contextual-alt-values> = [ contextual | no-contextual ]

small-caps

Enables display of small capitals.

all-small-caps

Enables display of small capitals for both upper and lowercase letters.

petite-caps

Enables display of petite capitals.

all-petite-caps

Enables display of petite capitals for both upper and lowercase letters.

unicase

Enables display of mixture of small capitals for uppercase letters with normal lowercase letters.

titling-caps

Enables display of titling capitals.

stylistic(<feature-value-name>)

Enables display of stylistic alternates (font specific, OpenType feature: salt <feature-index>).

historical-forms

Enables display of historical forms (OpenType feature: hist).

styleset(<feature-value-name>#)

Enables display with stylistic sets (font specific, OpenType feature: ss<feature-index> OpenType currently defines ss01 through ss20).

character-variant(<feature-value-name>#)

Enables display of specific character variants (font specific, OpenType feature: cv<feature-index> OpenType currently defines cv01 through cv99).

swash(<feature-value-name>)

Enables display of swash glyphs (font specific, OpenType feature: swsh <feature-index>, cswh <feature-index>).

ornaments(<feature-value-name>)

Enables replacement of default glyphs with ornaments, if provided in the font (font specific, OpenType feature: ornm <feature-index>). Some fonts may offer ornament glyphs as alternates for a wide collection of characters; however, displaying arbitrary characters (e.g., alphanumerics) as ornaments is poor practice as it distorts the semantics of the data. Font designers are encouraged to encode all ornaments (except those explicitly encoded in the Unicode Dingbats blocks, etc.) as alternates for the bullet character (U+2022) to allow authors to select the desired glyph using ornaments().

annotation(<feature-value-name>)

Enables display of alternate annotation forms (font specific, OpenType feature: nalt <feature-index>).

<numeric-figure-values> = [ lining-nums | oldstyle-nums ]

<numeric-spacing-values> = [ proportional-nums | tabular-nums ]

<numeric-fraction-values> = [ diagonal-fractions | stacked-fractions ]

ordinal

Enables display of letter forms used with ordinal numbers.

slashed-zero

Enables display of slashed zeros.

<east-asian-variant-values> = [ jis78 | jis83 | jis90 | jis04 | simplified | traditional ]

<east-asian-width-values> = [ full-width | proportional-width ]

ruby

Enables display of ruby variant glyphs (OpenType feature: ruby). Since ruby text is generally smaller than the associated body text, font designers can design special glyphs for use with ruby that are more readable than scaled down versions of the default glyphs. Only glyph selection is affected, there is no associated font scaling or other change that affects line layout.

sub

Enables display of subscript variants.

super

Enables display of superscript variants.
