Multiple swashes on one character

The [ss01] feature needs InDesign 19.0, later than October 2023

The feature [ss01] is using a code sequence to connect swashes to characters.

  • Start with the character itself
  • Directly followed by a “tilde” ~
  • Followed by the code for vertical position: “t”: top, “m”: middle, “b”: bottom
  • Followed by the code for the horizontal position: “l”: left, “r”: right
  • Followed by the code for the vertical direction: “u”: up, “d”: down
  • finally a single digit that defines the size of the swash: “1”: small, “2”: larger, “3”: moderate, “4”: large, “5”: super sized
  • A~tru3 – A~tru3
  • B~mrd2 – B~mrd2
  • C~bld5 – C~bld5
  • D~mru5 – D~mru5
  • E~mlu1 – E~mlu1

Several code sequences can be combined to attach multiple swashes to the same character. Each character has up to 8 connections points.

  • A~tru3~bru5 – A~tru3~brd3
  • B~mrd2~tlu2 – B~mrd2~tlu2
  • C~bld5~tru3 – C~bld5~tru3
  • D~mru5~mrd3 – D~mru5~mrd3
  • E~mlu1~tlu2~brd2 – E~mlu1~tlu2~brd2
