One time I remember seeing a Q ligature in \setmainfont{EB Garamond}
(fontspec
, EB Garamond, etc.) that involved a wonderful long swash. Now I don't know how to get it. Contrary to most other questions in this topic, how do I force this big Q?
Here's a (not too) minimal working example:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[margin=0.9in]{geometry}
\usepackage{microtype}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{xspace}
\defaultfontfeatures{SmallCapsFeatures={Renderer=Basic}}
%\setmainfont{EB Garamond}
\usepackage{multicol}
\def\cm#1{\relax}
\newcommand{\qsec}[1]{{\mbox{}\hfill\scshape #1}}
\newenvironment{qset}[1]{
\mbox{}\\\qsec{#1}\par\begin{multicols}{2}
}{
\end{multicols}
}
\newcommand{\q}[2]{{\em #1} #2\xspace}
%\def\q#1#2{{{\em #1} #2\xspace}}
\begin{document}
\fontsize{11pt}{14pt}\selectfont
\fontspec[Ligatures={Required,Common,Contextual,Discretionary,TeX},Style=Alternate]{EB Garamond}
\noindent\mbox{Simon Kuang}\hfill\mbox{\today}
\centerline{\emph{Oedipus Rex} Study Guide Questions}
\begin{qset}
{First Episode --- Oedipus, Chorus, and Tiresias}
\noindent \q{Explain the following ironies in Oedipus's speech (218--220; 236--248; 249--251; 259--265).}{Que is.}
\end{qset}
\end{document}
11 pt
to10 pt
you will get the long swash. I'm not sure why. (And your example could be a lot more minimal.)
