Created attachment 202021 [details] Partial screenshot of the font features dialog with a binary option in a drop-down listbox In a discussion on Telegram, user @JcD showed an example of a font features dialog with some options which are most probably misidentified boolean toggles, presented using drop-down listboxes. Example: +-------+ Slashed number zero: [ None v] +-------+ | 1 || +-------+ either the 0 is slashed, or it isn't. Now, maybe in other fonts there are multiple kinds of slashing (though I kind of doubt it). But it seems like in several cases, we can determine that an option is a boolean toggle, and use a checkbox for it.
Created attachment 202022 [details] Screenshot of Fira Sans Font Features All of the features in the added screenshot are binary choices. There are some that are activated by checkmarks (Contextual Alternates, Discretionary Ligatures...); confusingly they start as an partial-selected-tri-state-checkbox.
(In reply to jan d from comment #1) > All of the features in the added screenshot are binary choices. What are the not-"None" values for these different features? Give some examples please. Also, where can one get Fira Sans? As for Gentium Plus, I was using version 1.504; you can get an up-to-date version from here: https://software.sil.org/gentium/download/ but the font name has apparently change back from Gentium Plus into just Gentium.

Binary or rather dual choices are not necessarily just on/off toggles. Or would you expect the choice male/female as checkbox? Besides this generic statement it might be nice to have proper controls, whether check or radio boxes.
