The index of the stylistic alternates form. The default value is 0 (zero).

Remarks

This property gets or sets a value on the object that owns a Typography property, which is the only way to access a Typography class instance. In addition, this property supports an attached property usage so that it can be set on text-containing objects in XAML.

Alternates are glyphs that can be substituted for a standard glyph. OpenType fonts, such as the Pericles font used in the following examples, contain alternate glyphs that you can use to create different appearances for text.
