Normally, authors can control the use of language-specific glyph substitutions and positioning by setting the content language of an element, as described above:
<!-- Display text using S'gaw Karen specific features -->
<p lang="ksw">...</p>
In some cases, authors may need to specify a language system that differs from the content language, for example due to the need to mimic another language’s typographic traditions. The ‘font-language-override’ property allows authors to explicitly specify the language system of the font, overriding the language system implied by the content language.
