Feature Request: Font options for stylistic alternates

Hi, im using Pentpot for my last projects and try to migrate from Figma. A missing feature is the option for stylistic alternates with Fonts, which have an alternate set of letter design. (For example the Font “Inter”).
In Figma it sets the CSS-Code to “font-feature-settings: ‘salt’ on;”

It would be great if you could implement some more settings / options for the font-panel like in Figma, to use more of the font possibilities .

Thanks and keep up the great work

Hello @72dpigraphics, Font is something that we are working on improving it. We have a user story in our backlog to be done about Font feature settings. You can keep an eye here: Taiga

I appreciate the request from @72dpigraphics and I checked the user story on Taiga as well as the GitHub issue. You folks at Penpot are doing a great work and I am happy, that this useful feature is hopefully coming to the app in the near future.

Is this something that’s been added yet?

I went to try out Penpot but immediately noticed I didn’t have the option to use stylistic alternatives on my fonts like I do in Figma. Sadly this is a deal-breaker even though I really want to like Penpot.

Hello, I would like to address this topic again. It would be really great if you could implement the feature for stylistic alternatives of fonts. This would take Penpot another step towards becoming a pro tool for designers.

This is essential, for example, if you want to use the upper case of a font, which is especially important for setting numbers outside of body text. I currently use the GT Sectra font, which uses oldstyle figures by default. Unfortunately, I have no option in Penpot to switch to uppercase figures.
