Re: Supporting stylistic sets

[समीर सिंह Sameer Singh]

I don't understand: how does this handle the case where a certain
character has more than 2 alternative glyphs? which alternative will
be selected?

Different glyphs would have different tags.

For example in FiraCode "0" has four alternatives and each one has a different tag:

zero, cv11, cv12, cv13
