add to that
-- they may implement feature support differently
-- fonts have bugs in lookup rules (obscured by processing engines)
-- we may want to control aspects of features
-- we may invent our own features (fea files)
ater all, open type has hardly any good reference documentation, bugs
and unclear specs may dictate wrong behaviour in persistent manners (as
with html and browsers),font designers have to think like programmers
which may not be their stringest point, ...
although font installation becomes way easier in tex, it does mean that
all our problems are solved
