Alastair,

At the time I wrote that document, I only had time to figure out a few of the 
selectors. I have since found out #6 (“High Legibility”). According to the Mac 
Font Panel, #4 is “Stylistic Set 4”, whatever that is. #5 appears to do 
nothing, AFAICT.

Also, I finally got time to collect the work I’ve done and make a convenience 
class to use these San Francisco font features. See here:

https://github.com/djfitz/SFFontFeatures 
<https://github.com/djfitz/SFFontFeatures>

I can’t guarantee that anything will work, or if there are other features I’m 
missing. For now, I have support for 11 features:

• Straight-sided six and nine
• Open Four
• Vertically centered colon
• High Legibility
• One Storey a
• Upper Case Small Capitals
• Lower Case Small Capitals
• Contextual Fractional Forms
• Monospaced/Proportional Numbers
• Superiors/Superscripts
• Inferiors/Subscripts

Feel free to try this out, and let me know if things work for you.
