Scriptographer.org - Change characters into altern...

Hi,

I'm working on a font with lots of different alternate characters such as; a, a.ss01, a.ss02 etc.
Is there anyone who knows how to change a character, in lets say an areaText, into any of its alternates. The OpenType Features in the ref mentions different ligatures and alternates but it's all Boolean values.

So, bottom line, how do I access a characters OpenType alternates?

I guess from your comment that a string such as ' I love you \u2665 ' is not what you want?

I get that to show a heart glyph in the dialog box as in
var values = {
width: 200,
height: 100,
xpos: 250,
ypos: 300,
myText:'I love you \u2665'
}

but an assignment later
textpath.content=values.myText
seems to destroy the value ...

perhaps some change of support code needed :-(
