Values
normal This keyword leads to the deactivation of the use of such alternate glyphs.
ruby This keyword forces the use of special glyphs for ruby characters. As these are usually smaller, font creators often designs specific forms, usually slightly bolder to improve the contrast. This keyword corresponds to the OpenType values ruby.
<east-asian-variant-values> These values specify a set of logographic glyph variants which should be used for display. Possible values are:
| Keyword | Standard defining the glyphs | OpenType equivalent |
|---|---|---|
jis78 | JIS X 0208:1978 | jp78 |
jis83 | JIS X 0208:1983 | jp83 |
jis90 | JIS X 0208:1990 | jp90 |
jis04 | JIS X 0213:2004 | jp04 |
simplified | None, use the simplified Chinese glyphs | smpl |
traditional | None, use the traditional Chinese glyphs | trad |
<east-asian-width-values> These values control the sizing of figures used for East Asian characters. Two values are possible:
proportional-width activating the set of East Asian characters which vary in width. It corresponds to the OpenType values pwid. full-width activating the set of East Asian characters which are all of the same, roughly square, width metric. It corresponds to the OpenType values fwid. Formal definition
| Initial value | normal |
|---|---|
| Applies to | all elements. It also applies to ::first-letter and ::first-line. |
| Inherited | yes |
| Computed value | as specified |
| Animation type | discrete |
Formal syntax
normal | [ <east-asian-variant-values> || <east-asian-width-values> || ruby ]where
<east-asian-variant-values> = [ jis78 | jis83 | jis90 | jis04 | simplified | traditional ]<east-asian-width-values> = [ full-width | proportional-width ]
Examples
Setting East Asian glyph variants
This example require font "Yu Gothic" installed in your OS, other fonts may not support OpenType features.

"Olivia, my eldest daughter, caught measles when she was seven years old. As the illness took its usual course I can remember reading to her often in bed and not feeling particularly alarmed about it. Then one morning, when she was well on the road to recovery, I was sitting on her bed showing her how to fashion little animals out of coloured pipe-cleaners, and when it came to her turn to make one herself, I noticed that her fingers and her mind were not working together and she couldn’t do anything. 'Are you feeling all right?' I asked her. 'I feel all sleepy,' she said. In an hour, she was unconscious. In twelve hours she was dead. The measles had turned into a terrible thing called measles encephalitis and there was nothing the doctors could do to save her. That was...in 1962, but even now, if a child with measles happens to develop the same deadly reaction from measles as Olivia did, there would still be nothing the doctors could do to help her. On the other hand, there is today something that parents can do to make sure that this sort of tragedy does not happen to a child of theirs. They can insist that their child is immunised against measles. ...I dedicated two of my books to Olivia, the first was ‘James and the Giant Peach’. That was when she was still alive. The second was ‘The BFG’, dedicated to her memory after she had died from measles. You will see her name at the beginning of each of these books. And I know how happy she would be if only she could know that her death had helped to save a good deal of illness and death among other children."
I just checked google books for BFG, and the dedication is there.
