--- Comment #62 from General Kutuzov <sh...@outlook.com> ---
I also found some of open-source fonts such as Linux Libertine, EB Garamond,
have some special rendering, such as alternative glyphs and swashes, optional /
historic ligatures, need OpenType feature tags to be passed to the font. MS
Office 2013's component such as Word 2013 have a GUI operations to choose
OpenType variants in the "Font" dialog, but it is a proprietary software of
Microsoft. Some TeX-based free softwares, such as XeTeX or XeLaTeX, can use
some OpenType feature, but you muse use lot of codes to implement. so I wish
you to support OpenType feature handling and add some operations to the Font
dialog.

Here are some samples using OpenType feature:
