@mwichary@mastodon.online Nothing if the set is small, for example for ordinals, but especially `frac` just is too random. See both in the screenshot.
So I'm either going to do something smarter (if feature === `frac` then use this string of predefined fractions), running the risk of including a character in my test string that somehow isn't in the font, or only list the *unique* characters and let you figure it out, much like the "old" Wakamai Fondue.

@mwichary@mastodon.online Also, re: "what was I thinking?!" — I was thinking of languages I'm not familiar with but whose glyphs change drastically depending on where they are in a text string. Like Arabic. I don't know if the randomized combinations are useful there! I'll have to find the help of someone who knows so I don't make the new feature preview useless for them!

@pixelambacht@typo.social The Feature Preview works tolerably well for Koch Up, which doesn't have loads of feature rules, but they are not very standard ones.
