Now they are named wherever they are referenced in InDesign. In previous InDesign versions, if a font had named stylistic sets, only their numbers were displayed, and the names were ignored.

For example, Hypatia Sans Pro has 14 stylistic sets with names such as “Stylistic set: sans serif forms,” “Stylistic set: simple lowercase forms,” and so on. Other more recent fonts give meaningful names that make them easier and more efficient to work with. That makes them particularly mysterious, because you have to experiment to discover what the set actually does. Some earlier OpenType fonts (such as the richly styled Gabriola font from Microsoft) may simply number the sets: Set 1, Set 2, Set 3, and so on. Turning on each additional set adds new alternates. Unlike with character styles, you can apply more than one stylistic set to a single block of text. This eliminates the task of selecting each alternate character individually, which is time consuming in large amounts of text. Stylistic sets are preselected groupings which allow for the global insertion of anywhere from one to twenty sets of alternates. This rather mysterious feature is finally made accessible and understandable in this InDesign release. Some OpenType fonts with many alternate characters have them grouped into stylistic sets. Using the Mysterious OpenType Stylistic Sets Currently, this feature is only available for the English language. Similarly, if you select a number such as 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc., the menu suggests the ordinal versions if they are available in the current font.
