是的,Paratext 9 可以显示指定的 OpenType 字体特性,但用于选择/指定特性的图形用户界面(GUI)似乎损坏了?(详情见此处……在 PT Lite 中可以编辑特性列表!)
几年前,SIL 字体(Charis、Gentium、Andika、Doulos)的第 6 版从 Graphite 切换到了 OpenType,以访问字体特性(即“替代字形”)。自那以后,Paratext 的字体特性选择列表适用于这些字体的第 5 版,但如果您的系统安装了第 6 版,则“选择”按钮会变灰,如截图所示。
然而,我决定检查一下我自己的 Paratext 项目。令我惊讶的是,我看到 OpenType 代码 LiteracyAlternates=off 和 GlottalStop=large 已经输入到字体特性文本框中,如截图所示。这些特性在我的 Paratext 项目中显示正常——在 PT9 以及 PT Lite(Android 和 Desktop-Linux)中均如此。不过令人惊讶的是,我无法在 PT 9 中编辑截图中显示的字体特性列表,也无法将特性规格添加到其他项目中。我的特性选择在 PT9 中只是“存在且有效”。
Paratext Lite(Linux 桌面版 Beta 版)提供了我所见过的最易用的 OpenType 图形化字体特性编辑界面——比 LibreOffice 好得多!向 PTLite 团队致敬!

Yes, Paratext 9 displays specified OpenType font features, but the GUI for selecting/specifying features is broken?? (Details here... editing the feature list is available in PT Lite!)
A few years ago version 6 of the SIL fonts--Charis, Gentium, Andika, Doulos--switched from Graphite to OpenType for accessing Font Features, or "alternate glyphs." Since then Paratext's Font Features selection list works for v. 5 of any of these fonts but if your system has v. 6 the "Choose" button is greyed out, as in the screenshot.
However, I decided to check out my own Paratext project. I was surprised to see the OpenType codes for LiteracyAlternates=off and GlottalStop=large already typed into the Font Features text box, as the screenshot shows. These features are displaying correctly in my Paratext projects--in PT9 and also in PT Lite--Android and --Desktop-Linux. Surprisingly though, I can not edit the pictured feature list in PT 9, nor add feature specs into other projects. My feature choices are just "present and working" in PT9.
Paratext Lite (Beta version for Linux desktop), however, provides the easiest-to-use OpenType graphical font feature editing screen that I've seen--much better than LibreOffice! Kudos to the PTLite team!
