...
If you mean the feature "Hidden" from the tab "Font Effects": I don’t care
what happens to it. I can’t imagine what one would need it for. And it’s
definitely not needed in the OpenType tab. So I think there will be no "two
sets", if that’s what you mean, because – as I said – the feature "Small
capitals" under "Font Effects" is a fake feature anyway. You can keep it
implemented, but I, personally, wouldn’t use it at all. Typographers don’t
use it, because it looks ugly. And the feature "All Capitals" can be in
either tab. It doesn’t matter, where.
...
Reality is that the vast majority of fonts have limited support for OpenType
(even fewer with Graphite) smart font features. Meaning the VCL font 'effects'
must remain relevant and viable in LibreOffice ODF document preparation.
And, as implemented we include Graphite/OpenType features into ODF by
annotation of font names recorded to style with the feature to be rendered--so
one might call that a 'fake feature'. But myself, I am happy to now have the
ability to utilize the smart font features with fonts that support them.
