You cannot prepare the font for this by yourself (unless you are a font 
designer).  The font needs
to have the "frac" feature present.  Your macro \textfraction{1/2} simply 
typesets 1/2 with the frac
feature enabled.  You can find out if your font has this feature using the tool 
otfinfo, e.g.

$ otfinfo -f FiraSans-Regular.otf
aalt    Access All Alternates
c2sc    Small Capitals From Capitals
calt    Contextual Alternates
case    Case-Sensitive Forms
ccmp    Glyph Composition/Decomposition
cpsp    Capital Spacing
dlig    Discretionary Ligatures
dnom    Denominators
frac    Fractions
kern    Kerning
liga    Standard Ligatures
lnum    Lining Figures
mark    Mark Positioning
mgrk    Mathematical Greek
mkmk    Mark to Mark Positioning
numr    Numerators
onum    Oldstyle Figures
ordn    Ordinals
pnum    Proportional Figures
salt    Stylistic Alternates
smcp    Small Capitals
ss01    Stylistic Set 1
ss02    Stylistic Set 2
ss03    Stylistic Set 3
ss04    Stylistic Set 4
subs    Subscript
sups    Superscript
tnum    Tabular Figures
zero    Slashed Zero
