Accessing Opentype features Recommendations Language

in Adobe InDesign
To access the OpenType features in Adobe
Indesign, choose menu -> Window -> Type & Tables
-> Character
In the Character palette, click the menu button
in the upper right-hand corner to access the
OpenType menu.
Please note that some features will not work when
[No Language] is chosen for the selected text.
If using the Indesign Glyph palette to find a
particular character, selecting Sort Glyphs by
CID / GID form the Glyph palette menu is
recommended. This makes finding the character
easier.
Accessing Opentype features

To access Opentype features in Adobe Illustrator,
choose menu -> Window -> Type -> Opentype
Ligatures and contextual alternates will not work
when tracking is not between 15 and +15.
The recommended leading is 120% for text and 110-
90% for headlines. The leading can be set up to
80%, even with languages that use diacritics. The
kerning is very tight as it is. You can reduce track-
ing even more for very big point sizes. Add track-
ing in text sizes to improve legibility (this paragraph
has tracking of +10).
