OpenType, up close
Trail Marker contains 588 glyphs: 537 encoded characters, 50 unencoded alternates, and one missing-character glyph reserved for unsupported input. Every alternate is represented in the feature samples below.
Ligatures
This edition has no standard, discretionary, or required OpenType ligatures. Combinations such as fi, fl, and ffi remain separate letters; enabling ligatures does not create a joined glyph.
