---

includeFontPadding

Type	Default
bool	true

---

fontVariant

Allows you to set all the font variants for a font. Can be set by using an array of enums or a space-separated string e.g. 'small-caps common-ligatures'.

Type	Default
array of enum('small-caps', 'oldstyle-nums', 'lining-nums', 'tabular-nums', 'proportional-nums') or string	[]
