Hi Wolfgang,

Good to know that, but I might have some questions.

It seems the keyword here is "features"? Only the plural version works here
in my newest beta.

What if I want to use the CJK font? The code in  "font-sel.mkvi" hints I
could use range=chinese but it didn't work. I have to use interval
{0x00400-0x2FA1F} explicitly.

And how can I assign the boldfont, italicfont and bolditalicfont? I'm
currently using the Adobe Song Std as the regular font but it didn't come
with a bold version or else, hence I might need this feature.
