I sent a small file some days ago which worked fine. It only needs some polishing on the script/language side where I don't know the best combinition. I personally think a feature file is a good idea. Using lua-code / virtual fonts or something like this is imho problematic as the context interfaces are not stable enough. > I think we can have a feature file for that, it would even include all > scripts recognised by fontspec so it can work regardless of the chosen > script. >> Is it possible to use more than a single .fea file to construct the >> additional OpenType information?

I think I found a fix, though. I have seen some posting where feature files have been used to change the kerning. Actually I think they will be used more with luatex as there are text files and so much easier to use. So I think it is important that you can use more than one feature file (or that they can be assembled on-the-fly by fontspec). -- Ulrike Fischer
