@fahad please advise |
|
My guess is that diagonal fractions are intended to be used on numbers which can include punctation characters like dot or comma. So given what diagonal fractions are, it seems almost natural they cause havoc on ponctuation. |
|
I don't think it is a good idea to apply any OpenType feature to all the text. However, the code works as expected. |
|
From OpenType Spec: Tag: 'frac' Friendly name: Fractions Registered by: Microsoft/Adobe Function: Replaces figures separated by a slash with 'common' (diagonal) fractions. Example: The user enters 3/4 in a recipe and gets the threequarters fraction. https://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/features_fj.htm#frac So the right use for Diagonal Fractions is for figures separated by a slash only not anything else. Thus, you can close this bug. It is NOTABUG. |
