Definition

Gets a value that specifies the index of a contextual swashes form.

public abstract int ContextualSwashes { get; }

Property Value

The index of the standard swashes form. The default is 0 (zero).

Remarks

Certain combinations of swash glyphs can cause an unattractive appearance, such as overlapping descenders on adjacent letters. Using a contextual swash allows you to use a substitute swash glyph that produces a better appearance. The following text shows the same word before and after a contextual swash is applied.
