Proportional figures
These are variable width digits (at right);
for example, a "1" that is narrower than
a "2", which would look good when set
in body text, as opposed to the more
usual tabular figures (at left) that are all
the same width so they line up in
columns or tables.
As for any other text attribute, you can apply the font feature to selected
characters or to a text style equally either from the Text context toolbar or Text
Style dialog, respectively. The option names are similar in both locations.
Options vary according to font. If no options are offered, the font does not
provide any additional font features.
To apply OpenType features to selected characters:
1. Select your text which has the OpenType font assigned to it.
2. From the Text context toolbar, click the down arrow on the
OpenType flyout. On the flyout, the displayed options (showing
sample text and hover preview) vary according to the features
supported by the OpenType font.
