Explanation:
Missaali is a black letter Textura font that is based on the incunabula Missale Aboense printed by Bartholomew Ghotan in 1488. Its intended use is either as a display font or to emulate late medieval Gothic textualis formata manuscripts. It uses a 15th century set of symbols, which means that it has many symbols that have fallen out of use over the centuries but lacks many that are nowadays taken for granted (like Arabic numbers). Missaali should be used with the 'contextual alternate' (calt) and 'standard ligatures' (liga) features turned on since they are used to implement the characteristic properties of the Textura script: fusions of certain pairs of letters and the alternate forms of 'r' and 's'.The font has also a large number of other OpenType features that implement of incunabula and scribal conventions. The features are easiest to access with XeLaTeX but most of them are available also under other systems that support OpenType features. Many features have two different names so that they can be used in systems that support only a limited set of OpenType tags. In most cases the secondary tag of the feature has nothing to do with the conventional meaning of the tag.The features are described in detail in the documentation file Missaali.pdf, but here is an overview of them.aalt - all alternatescalt - contextual alternatesliga - Textura ligaturesdlig - Missale Aboense abbreviation symbolshist, swsh - Alternate form of ae and oess01, subs - Scandinavian vowel fusionsss02, ornm - Additional abbreviation symbolsss03, frac - Alternative set of abbreviationsss04, salt - Add a general abbreviation mark to a letterss05 - add a tilde to a letterss06 - add dieresis to a letterss07 - add an r-abbreviation mark to a letterss08 - add a short abbreviation mark to a letterss09, onum - add an a-abbreviation mark to a letterss10 - add an o-abbreviation mark to a letterss11, sups - add a diagonal stroke to some lettersss12 - add an ur-abbreviation mark to a letterss13 - add a horizontal stroke to some lettersss14 - add a loop to some lettersss15, smcp - liturgical symbolsss16, ordn - enable emulation of 17th century Finnish ortography.ss17 - alternate punctuation symbolsss18 - enable po-fusionss19 - alternate shape of zss20, titl - Lombardic initials.ss21 - add a dot accent to a letterss22 - alternate shape of G.ss23 - alternate forms of Lombardic initialsThere are additional features that are used to work around problems with XeLaTex font handling.
