font-feature-settings unavailable

[djmtype]

The font-feature-settings are not triggering the alt character styles. For example, font-feature-settings: "salt" does nothing. I tried the variable ttf as well as woff2.

I downloaded Raleway v4.101 from the official website, not Google fonts.

If I use font-feature-settings: "salt" with a different font that supports it, like Work Sans, those settings work. So, there is nothing wrong with my browser. Using Chrome.

No errors in the devtools console and I don't have another Raleway version installed on my system.

If I disable ligatures, font-feature-settings: "liga" 0;, I can see them turned off, so it's respecting some settings.

Furthermore, if I download the font from you site, https://www.theleagueofmoveabletype.com/raleway, this version works as advertised. Unfortunately, I have no way of knowing which Raleway version this is.

BTW, The version I downloaded from Google fonts doesn't work properly either where font-feature-settings is concerned.

When declaring salt, I expected the a would be earless, and the w less fancy according to the demo page: https://www.theleagueofmoveabletype.com/raleway

@djmtype I had the same issue. I've used https://fontdrop.info to inspect the content of the .woff files, and it turns out that your desired features are enabled using ss02 and ss09 instead (at least with release 4.101).

Thanks @nvitucci
