FontFeature class Null safety

A feature tag and value that affect the selection of glyphs in a font.

Different fonts support different features. Consider using a tool such as wakamaifondue.com/ to examine your fonts to determine what features are available.

This example shows usage of several OpenType font features, including Small Caps (selected manually using the "smcp" code), old-style figures, fractional ligatures, and stylistic sets.
To create a local project with this code sample, run:
flutter create --sample=dart.dart_ui.FontFeature.1 mysample
import 'dart:ui';

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

void main() => runApp(const ExampleApp());

class ExampleApp extends StatelessWidget {
  const ExampleApp({super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return const MaterialApp(
      home: ExampleWidget(),
    );
  }
}

final TextStyle titleStyle = TextStyle(
  fontSize: 18,
  fontFeatures: const <FontFeature>[FontFeature.enable('smcp')],
  color: Colors.blueGrey[600],
);

class ExampleWidget extends StatelessWidget {
  const ExampleWidget({super.key});

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    // The Cardo, Milonga and Raleway Dots fonts can be downloaded from
    // Google Fonts (https://www.google.com/fonts).
