Si non, ce serait une bonne chose de pouvoir le faire.

Have you tried out all the options in Preferences > Type?

Yes. The only option that relates to glyph variants is whether or not to display the available variants.
Unfortunately, highlighting is annoying to properly visualise the layout.

It's good to know that Illustrator doesn't display glyph variants highlighted.

Ok, I tried with other fonts and the highlighting is not systematic. Sometimes yes, sometimes no.

For example with the Altesse Pro font, no highlights with glyph variants.

I use an OpenType font of my design made with FontLab 8 and which uses programming. The problem may come from the Unicode encoding of glyph variants... I don't know the subject well.

It's a track. Thank you!

I will ask the question on the FontLab forum.

I hope you can figure that one out.

Could you please answer in this thread if you find out something? That would help.
