So what is this font? This is Corinthus and it is interesting in its own right. It was designed based on the proportions of a Corinthian pillar and influenced by Greco-Roman sculptures.

Attached is what it looks like if TV Tropes were to use it.

It has 28,100 glyphs in the full version and some special features.

I'll talk more about it later.

Now let's start to get to some of the more exciting stuff. Attached are images of the first PowerPoint in 37 years to support OpenType features.

Normally glyphs used for OpenType features aren't given codepoints.

If a font DOES do this, then this system means a shortcut code can be set up so OpenType features can be enabled in programs that don't support them…
