Perhaps this has been raised before -- but a cursory search of the
archives didn't find it...<br>
<br>
In 14496-22_2009(E), the section about ss01-ss20 Stylistic Sets
says:<br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">The FeatureParams field of the Feature Table
of these GSUB features may be set to 0, or to an offset to a
Feature Parameters table comprising two successive USHORT values,
as follows:<br>
<ul>
<li>Version (set to 0): This corresponds to a "minor" version
number. Additional data may be added to the end of this
Feature Parameters table in the future.</li>
<li>UI Name ID: The 'name' table name ID that specifies a string
(or strings, for multiple languages) for a user-interface
label for this feature. The values of uiLabelNameId and
sampleTextNameId are expected to be in the font-specific name
ID range (256–32767), though that is not a requirement in this
Feature Parameters specification. The user-interface label for
the feature can be provided in multiple languages. An English
string should be included as a fallback. The string should be
kept to a minimal length to fit comfortably with different
application interfaces.</li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<br>
My question is about the mention here of sampleTextNameId which
isn't otherwise documented in this Stylist Sets section. It would be
nice to have such, as per Character Variants, but "two successive
USHORT values" wouldn't appear to include this.<br>
<br>
I'm guessing the "and sampleTextNameID" was supposed to be added to
the FeatureParams description of cv01-cv99 Character Variants where
it says:<br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">The values of featUiLabelNameId,
featUiTooltipTextNameId and firstParamUiLabelNameId are expected
to be<br>
in the font-specific name ID range (256–32767), though that is not
a requirement in this Feature Parameters<br>
specification.</blockquote>
<br>
but would someone like to clarify?<br>
