Hi David,
I think I remember intentionally omitting this feature because it’s kind of
useless for most fonts.
(It’s been a long time, though. Happy to revisit.)
I’d recommend creating your own feature option for it using something like:

Thanks for the info. I've added it to the project, and I'll try and

Is there a way to display with fontspec all supported features of a

No (eventually planned), but you can use the opentype-info.tex

The difference between MiKTeX and texlive is that MiKTeX has a special
