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.
@carolina.portugal Has this been abandoned? It was supposed to be prioritized 3 years ago… (font-feature-settings support · Issue #1829 · penpot/penpot · GitHub).
I’ve been keeping an eye on Penpot for my web agency, but lack of proper support for fonts is an obvious dealbreaker for us.
Hi, Just wanted to add my support for this feature.
Firstly, thanks to the Penpot team for this great app. I’ve been testing it on some small projects for the past year or more, and I think it holds a lot of promise.
The ability to tweak my fonts is the one thing that keeps me tied to Figma - literally the one and only thing. But it’s essential for me. When doing UI design, I almost always use font features like character variants, monospace font variants, tabular numerals, among other things. Oftentimes it’s more than optional, but absolutely essential to getting my designs right.
I’ve wanted to leave Figma for a while, but none of their competitors, from what I have seen, have implemented advanced font features (I’m not a Mac user, so I don’t know if Sketch has it). I’ve been keeping tabs on various projects for years hoping they would implement this feature.
So I hope the Penpot team will give this some priority. These advanced font features are natively supported by CSS, so I imagine there is a reasonable pathway to getting this accomplished.
Thanks, and keep up the good work!
