How to get the different styles in a font

[binki]

I am looking at this font but it is only showing it's base style. I am trying to get the options like "contextual alternates, swash, stylistic sets," but I can't see how to do that. I am using Corel X5.

Not all versions of Corel are capable of accessing all of the alts and contextual ligatures.
Not sure if Corel X5 is one of them. Expanded font character tables and accessing the alts and c/ligs is a brain-child of Adobe so you may need to upgrade your version of Corel or at least utilize Adobe Illustrator.

In X7 it's ctrl F11, called "insert character," seems to be the equivalent of illustrator's glyph palette.

Sorry, haven't worked with X5 for some time, not sure if it's in there.

X6 and X7 do this.(Sorry, X5 doesn't)

Aw crap. Thanks. I will see what I can do. I only need a few letters so maybe I can trace them or just download the latest version. Thanks.

Ok, I was able to get it to work with a trial version of Corel 2017. It looks like I will be upgrading. Thanks for the help and the links.

Well, it is a good concept but pretty touchy to use. I was able to get what I wanted. Thanks for the tips and advice.
