Glyphs
Here you can find the glyphs included in the font, along with their hexadecimal unicode values.
Features
OpenType features (OT features) allow you to tweak a font's appearance and behaviour. You can normally find them under typographic settings in word processor or layout apps, or control them with the font-variant-* properties (see the MDN page) or font-feature-settings property (see the MDN page) in CSS.
Most apps will allow you to activate most commonly-used features, but some may have restrictions on which combinations you can apply. Features may be combined or renamed in some apps (e.g. ligature settings in Microsoft Word).
You can apply font features using the controls in the Demo area.
Minitic is one of my earlier fonts. I implemented language support here in a non-standard way. My later fonts, e.g. Scryptic, use proper OpenType language support where relevant.
Catalan localisation (ss05)
Switch on stylistic set 5 to activate Catalan localisation: a centred period between two Ls is replaced by a punt volat:
Dutch localisation (ss06)
Switch on stylistic set 6 to activate Dutch localisation: a J following an I-acute is replaced by a J-acute (to produce an IJ-acute), and an IJ followed by a combining acute mark is replaced by an IJ-acute:
German localisation (ss07)
Switch on stylistic set 7 to activate German localisation: two uppercase S's are replaced by a single Eszett:
Alternate R (cv05)
Switch on character variant 5 to swap the uppercase R for an alternate glyph:
Combining marks (liga)
Type an individual letter followed by a combining mark (e.g. the combining acute accent) to create a precomposed letter-diacritic character. For example, typing the letter A followed by the acute accent will replace both characters with the precomposed A-acute character. This effect uses the standard ligatures (rlig) OT feature, so it can be switched off by deactivating standard (also called “common”) ligatures.
Note: This replaces the original unicode characters with the precomposed unicode character.
Minuscule numerals (sups/subs/sinf)
Switch on superscript, subscript, or scientific inferiors to replace the numerals 0 to 9 with smaller, repositioned alternatives:
Fractions (frac)
Switch on fractions to replace any series of numerals, followed by a slash, followed by any series of numerals with a diagonally-oriented fraction:
Ordinals (ordn)
Switch on ordinals to replace letters in ordinals with minuscule superscript versions, in English (these are only examples):
In French:
And in Spanish and Portuguese (these are only examples):
Case-sensitive characters (case)
Switch on case-sensitive characters to replace certain punctuation and the @ symbol with alternates glyphs repositioned or adapted for use in all-capital text:
Pipped dice (ss01)
Switch on stylistic set 1 to replace the numerals 0 to 9 with pipped dice icons:
Diceless pips (ss02)
Switch on stylistic set 2 to replace the numerals 0 to 9 with diceless pip patterns:
Poker icons (ss03/ss04)
Switch on stylistic set 3 to activate poker suit and rank icons, then type the matching code to produce the matching icon:
You can also switch on stylistic set 4 (ss04) as well 3 to replace outlined hearts and diamonds suits with solid versions.
Note: These icons may not display correctly if the character spacing and/or kerning of the Minitic text is set above the default values.
