== Deep dive into typescripts ==
* [[Typescripts examples]] look at the existing examples to build your own Typescripts.
* [[Featuresets]], and here some of common option for {{cmd|definefontfeature}}
** <code>onum=yes</code> for old style numbers, vs <code>lnum=yes</code> for lining numbers
** <code>kern=yes</code> for kerning
** See [[Ligatures]] (2017). <code>liga=yes</code> for common ligature and <code>dlig=yes</code> for discretionary ligature (like st), <code>calt=yes</code> for contextual alternates.
** for small caps, the font must propose Caps variation like "EBGaramondSC12-Regular.otf" et "AlegreyaSC-Regular.otf"

* [[Protrusion]] (also known as hanging or font handling) is a more subtle typographic effect (2012 need update).
Finally, for older content, refering to mkii, we keep a [[Fonts - Old Content|specific zone in the wiki]]. Work is also need to merge content of [[Fonts_in_LuaTeX]] here.
