I try to provide a proper documentation when I release the next version of my module.

I blindly tried several possibilities like \setupsimplefonts[features={liga}] but none worked Ligatures are enabled in ConTeXt default fontfeature and simplefonts applies only the default features to the font, when you don't get them in your document this could be a font problem, in most cases it helps to select a different script. \setupsimplefonts[script=latin] or \setmainfont[...][script=latin] 2) How can I get \sc to work with a font family whose small caps are defined as a font feature, rather than dedicated .otf files ? The caps font is loaded by default by the smallcaps fontfeature, if this did not work the problem could be the same as for the ligatures. 3) How can I get font expansion and protrusion to work using simplefonts' dedicated keywords ?
