 anticollision ligatures Standard ligatures (should be always on). • smart f variants to avoid collisions, • T T ligature, • anti-collision T (rightside), • variants of f and t horizontal bar when next to each other (ff, tt, ft, tf, ttt, fff…) |
 Alternate a (ss01) Stylistic set 01: Alternate lowercase a glyph. |
 Alternate g (ss02) Stylistic set 02: Alternate lowercase g glyph. |
 Alternate j (ss03) Stylistic set 03: Alternate lowercase and uppercase j glyph. |
 Alternate y (ss04) Stylistic set 04: Alternate lowercase y glyph. |
 case sensitive forms Displays a version of the glyph that matches uppercases. Case sensitive glyphs are: ß 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 : ; · • ◦ ‣ ◆ ■ □ ▣ ( ) { } [ ] - – — ⎯ « » ‹ › ¢ ¤ $ € ƒ ₺ ₱ ₹ £ ¥ + − × ÷ = ≠ > < ≥ ≤ ± ≈ ~ ¬ ∅ ∞ % ‰ ↑ ↗ → ↘ ↓ ↙ ← ↖ ↔ ↕ ⟵ ⟶ ⟷ |
 ordinals Creates ordinal versions for letters a b c d e h i l m n o r s t. If a or o are preceded by a figure and no letter follows, ordfeminine ª and ordmasculine º are displayed instead. |
 arrows (ss06) Stylistic set 06 “Arrows”. Transforms: -> to →, <- to ←, --> to ⟶, <-- to ⟵, <-> to ↔, <--> to ⟷, ^- to ↑, -^ to ↓, ^-^ to ↕, /> to ↗, </ to ↙, \> to ↘, <\ to ↖, -- to ⎯ (double hyphen makes a longer arrow, sizing exactly 2 tabular spaces). |
 contextual alternates Transforms the x letter to the multiply sign (×) when between two figures and/or an extra space. |
 slashed zero Activates slashed-zero alternate |
 lining & oldstyle figures Lining figures: displays uppercase-aligned figures and case sensitive glyphs: ß 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 : ; · • ◦ ‣ ◆ ■ □ ▣ ( ) { } [ ] - – — ⎯ « » ‹ › ¢ ¤ $ € ƒ ₺ ₱ ₹ £ ¥ + − × ÷ = ≠ > < ≥ ≤ ± ≈ ~ ¬ ∅ ∞ % ‰ ↑ ↗ → ↘ ↓ ↙ ← ↖ ↔ ↕ ⟵ ⟶ ⟷ Oldstyle figures: displays lowercase (default) figures and glyphs. |
 tabular figures & symbols Switches figures and some related glyphs to tabular ones. This feature makes the target glyphs same width and aligns them vertically as they were inside a table. Tabular glyphs are: π … # _ ⎯ ¢ $ € ƒ ₺ ₱ ₹ £ ¥ + − × ÷ = ≠ > < ≥ ≤ ± ≈ ~ ¬ ∅ ∞ ∫ √ µ ∂ ↑ ↗ → ↘ ↓ ↙ ← ↖ ↔ ↕ ◊ ☐ ☑ ✓ Glyphs with tabular alternates: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 . , : ; · " ' ° | ¦ % / \ - (and space). Most of them have case-sensitive alternates too. In this font you’ll also find 3 long arrows ⟵ ⟶ ⟷ with their case sensitive alternate. Their length is exactly twice a tabular. |
 superscripts & subscripts Activates superscript and subscript figures independently. |
 numerators & denominators Activates numerator and denominator figures independently. |
 fractions Real fractions from any [number] slash [number] sequence. |

កុំភ្លេចថា... យើងមិនមែនកើតមកដើម្បីស្អប់ទេ។ (Don't forget... we were not born to hate.)
By working together, we can create a world that is more just, equitable, and compassionate. The future is in our hands, and it starts with love.
So, what does this look like in real life? It is more than just a translation of words.
Unlike English, which uses the single, often-overused word "love," the Khmer language offers a richer, more nuanced palette. While both "sneaha/sneah" and "sralanh" are used to express love, the latter is a unique, powerful verb that encapsulates a more profound, innate, and essential form of affection. This linguistic specificity demands that the speaker engage more deeply with the emotion they are conveying, moving beyond abstract sentiment to a concrete, active force.
