can you test this with the alpha from our website? this afternoon taco
and i deduced some logic from fontforge (we're currently not sure if al
info is save right/available, for instance it seems to be possible to
selectively ignore marks in matches, but we have no font that uses that)
also, fonts are rather picky to what features are turned on by default
(and there is no info in the font about what is supposed to be on by
default)
