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.
Certain combinations of swash glyphs can cause an unattractive appearance, such as overlapping descenders on adjacent letters. Using a contextual swash allows you to use a substitute swash glyph that produces a better appearance. The following text shows the same word before and after a contextual swash is applied.
Example of a contextual swash
The following code example shows how to define a contextual swash for the Pescadero font, using the ContextualSwashes property.
<Paragraph FontFamily="Pescadero" Typography.StandardSwashes="1">
