Hi all
As making a Chinese typeface I'd like to give a final solution for the Pinyin-European problem. When typesetting European words the letter a and g are usually double-storey, however when used for Pinyin, a phonetic notation system often used for Chinese elementary education, to prevent children from mimicking the shape of the letters, the a and g are usually single-storey. So aside from stylistic sets, are there any standard GSUB feature tags for such a conversion?

I just use stylistic sets.1

Best to place them in Stylistic Sets (ssXX) indeed. These features are supported quite well.Alternatively there are Character Variants (cvXX) which are more intended for this kind of use, but these features are not supported well.1
