As far as I got it they are open type features to select variants of
characters and are used as any other open type feature:
;+cv01=0;+cv02=0;+cv03=0;+cv04=0;+cv05=0;+cv06=0;...
In the bug report the problem seemed to be that the user used so
many of this features that some string got too long.
But due to the other error I couldn't look at it yet.
