Tirra - Frequently Asked Questions

Many questions can be answered by consulting the following FAQ pages. Here are a few sample questions answered in each FAQ:

How do I access the full range of weights?

The full range of weights is accessed in different ways depending on the application. See Using Axis-Based Font Families for details.

Why do some features not work in Microsoft Word?

Ligature formation may not automatically work in Word 2016 or earlier. To enable ligatures, go to Format / Font / Advanced / OpenType features and change None to one of the other settings. It may also be necessary to choose Use Contextual Alternates. For an alternative to Word, we recommend LibreOffice.

Why do some features not work in Adobe InDesign?

To enable the complex features in InDesign, select the text, then change the Paragraph setting (Typography palette, Paragraph section) to Adobe World-Ready Paragraph Composer. It may also help to set the language to [No Language].
