[Libreoffice-bugs] [Bug 119269] New: Help for OpenType features support is missing

Bug ID: 119269
Summary: Help for OpenType features support is missing
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 6.2.0.0.alpha0+ Master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Documentation
Assignee: libreoffice-***@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: ***@t-online.de
CC: ***@documentfoundation.org

Go to the "Font" tab of a style, e.g. character style or direct formatting. You
will find a button "Features..". It opens the new "Font Features" dialog.
Dependent on the selected font, you will find only few or a large amount of
settings. Try font "Linux Libertine G" for example. A help for that dialog is
missing.

And since version 5.3 you can add such feature to the font name, e.g. "Linux
Libertine G:liga". The help for that is missing too.

I think, that there should be a common help page on OpenType features, which
describe, how and where such features are supported in LibreOffice. The page
need not explain each OpenType feature, but should help the user to find such
information, perhaps providing suitable search terms and links to the
standards. And it should show the effect of these features on some examples.

Such help page should be indexed with "OpenType".
