I would not hold my breath... This is another issue with a loooooong story see: http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=16032 The issue has been split in three parts (here's an excerpt from a post of last year): For clarification: This issue has been split into three parts, because it has become much too broad. - issue 16032 for selecting optional OT features => this will probably have to be split up into UI/GSL/import-export issues - issue 43029 for better PS-OpenType support (aka. "OTF-Fonts" or "SFNT-Fonts with CFF glyphs") - issue 78749 for problems of text that is detected as Latin but needs unicode combining - there are hundreds of other potential issues for implementation details of supporting each and every feature defined in http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/opentype/index_tag3.html and http:// www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/ttoreg.htm I haven't checked what the status of these issues are.
