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?

I was answering this question, I thought you were asking what would happen if we pass multiple tags for the same glyph.

If that was not what you meant then look at my previous answer:

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

Sorry, I don't understand: what is "it" in this case?

And how is the priority order relevant to our discussion?  I'm
probably missing something here.
