Definition and Usage
Allows control of glyph substitute and positioning in East Asian text. In cases where multiple alternates are possible, an integer is included to indicate the index of the alternate to be used. Omitting the integer indicates the first alternate.
- <east-asian-variant-values> = [ jis78 | jis83 | jis90 | jis04 | simplified | traditional ]
- <east-asian-width-values> = [ full-width | proportional-width ]

Syntax
font-variant-east-asian : normal | [ <east-asian-variant-values> || <east-asian-width-values> || ruby ]
Values
- normal
- None of the features listed below are enabled.
- jis78
- Enables rendering of JIS78 forms (OpenType feature: jp78).
- jis83
- Enables rendering of JIS83 forms (OpenType feature: jp83).
- jis90
- Enables rendering of JIS90 forms (OpenType feature: jp90).
- jis04
- Enables rendering of JIS2004 forms (OpenType feature: jp04).
- simplified
- Enables rendering of simplified forms (OpenType feature: smpl).
- traditional
- Enables rendering of traditional forms (OpenType feature: trad).
- full-width
- Enables rendering of full-width variants (OpenType feature: fwid).
- proportional-width
- Enables rendering of proportionally-spaced variants (OpenType feature: pwid).
- ruby
- Enables display of ruby variant glyphs (OpenType feature: ruby). Since ruby text is generally smaller than the associated body text, font designers can design special glyphs for use with ruby that are more readable than scaled down versions of the default glyphs. Only glyph selection is affected, there is no associated font scaling or other change that affects line layout. The red ruby text below is shown with default glyphs (top) and with ruby variant glyphs (bottom). Note the slight difference in stroke thickness.
