Property Value

FontVariants

One of the FontVariants values. The default is Normal.

Remarks

Variants are similar to superscript or subscript font forms. It is possible for a font form to contain differing glyph sets between superscript and the ordinal form, or between subscript and inferior forms. The Variants property allows you to set superscript and subscript values for an OpenType font.

The following text displays superscripts for the Palatino Linotype font.

Example of superscripts

The following text displays subscripts for the Palatino Linotype font.

Fonts that do not support variants may have an algorithmic approximation of the font form.
