Core Features
Did you know that many popular fonts include a set of hidden glyph? Most apps never let users discover them. They are "OpenType localized forms". For example, a single "骨" character contains 3 to 4 glyphs, presenting different stroke style for several East Asian regions, such as Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, and the other.
All you need is a menu, which allows you to pick your desired variant. Other apps hiding, LOCL reveals.
- Regional Glyph Switching: Choose an OpenType Language System Tag — ZHT, ZHS, JAN, KOR, and more — from a simple dropdown. LOCL automatically maps the appropriate Script Tag so the correct regional glyphs are applied without any manual configuration.
- Comprehensive Font Support: Works with system fonts, fonts installed via apps (the “iOS 13+ method”), and fonts installed through configuration profiles — giving you access to every typeface on your device.
- Weight Selection: Different from shoddy text tools, LOCL displays font family and font weight seperatedly and properly, for your accurate selection.
- Full-Canvas WYSIWYG Editor: Your entire screen is the canvas. Just type, and see your text rendered right in real time — no distractions, no unnecessary clutter.
- Text Formatting: Cycle through left, center, and right alignment; choose any text color with your familiar color picker.
