This is what I want to do with my fontbook project, a book with samples
of free fonts (left side all style plus features, right side example  
text).

Adobe provides a font with a few symbols of opentype features

The document is in a earyl state and I try to automate large parts  
(save font
related information like name, feature, typescript etc. in a lua table  
or xml
file) and to find a better example text (english, continued text, the  
gutenberg
project offers nice texts).
