Hi,
There is a 'size' table in opentype fonts which contains informations
about the design size, the design range and a style-ID and -name. Fonts
that come with different optical sizes do in fact use that table exactly
for the purpose desired by Andrés. Latin Modern does so, Adobe fonts do
so and EB Garamond happens to use that table too. XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX
interpret it correctly (by means of fontspec, IIRC). So perhaps it’s
worth reconsidering this.
Best regards,
Georg
