In Webflow, how can I select and change letters or groups of text to use alternative styles within my purchased font family?

To apply alternative styles from a purchased font family in Webflow, you can use OpenType features or manually adjust the styling. Here's how:

1. Enable OpenType Features

• Select the text element in your Webflow project.
• Go to the Typography section in the Style panel.
• Open the More type options (three-dot icon) in the typography settings.
• Check if your font supports OpenType features like ligatures, stylistic alternates, or swashes.
• Toggle the desired OpenType features if available.

2. Use Manual Character Styling

• If OpenType features aren't available in Webflow's typography controls, try manual overrides:
• Use bold, italics, or different weights if your font has variations.
• Apply a different font variant (e.g., “Pro Italic” if it's a separate font in the family).
• Set a custom class for specific words or letters and tweak their appearance separately.

3. Insert Special Glyphs Manually

• Open a glyphs panel in a design tool like Adobe Illustrator or Figma.
• Copy and paste the desired alternative characters into Webflow’s rich text editor or a text block.
• Test to ensure these special characters display correctly on different browsers.

Summary

Enable OpenType features in Webflow's Typography settings, apply manual style adjustments, or copy-paste alternate glyphs from external design tools if needed. This ensures proper use of stylistic variations from your purchased font family.
