I don't know whether that's possible at all, but if yes, it would be great to see how one could modify kerning tables etc. Often a font needs to be groomed but its license places some restrictions on modifying the file itself... > > > > > >+1 > > This is somewhat tricky.

And there is font feature files, which, when not broken :), look the same to the OpenType handling code as if the feature were in the original font i.e. no special handling needed.
