Same problem

After updating to 2.1.2, I lost all my previous preferences, including my favourity Auto-Tiles. This gave me a big headache. So be careful and back up your preferences. Wilder The same happened to me. When upgrading to 2.1.2 I lost all my global styles and bibliography replacement styles. (Auto-Tit...

Still don't get it

I can get this done using an OpenType enabled font (excuse me if this is not the exact term, I mean a font which has extra OT features like long S), and selecting Character Appearances >OpenType > Historical Forms.
