This did also happen with [feature=...] in typescripts or with \setfontfeature
in a document. A few fonts like Pagella or Linux Libertine work as expected
but Cambria is a example where none of both methods work.
\Var is really obsolete because \setfontfeature is more powerfull, I wrote
my file before \setfontfeature was available and it should nevetheless still
work but I don't need it.
