Using font variants in apps, e.g. Excel

[JNLlB]

We use a special corporate font which has a few stylistic sets. How can I use, say, tabular figures (in my case Stylistic Set 5) in an app like Excel? Is there any way within Character Map UWP to specify the default set to be used by Windows or Office? Or of modifying the font and installing a second copy incorporating the variations I want? This is what I have at the moment:

Excel doesn't support OpenType typography features unfortunately (although Word does).

You would probably have to use some dedicated font editing software to change this unfortunately, though I don't have any good free suggestions.

Thank you, Johnny. That's sad.
I'll have a look at using FontForge to create a copy of the font with the default glyphs replaced by their tabular variants - unless you could code Character Map to provide this functionality ...
