I want a better way to access OpenType font features. 

I want one of the two following things:

1) A way to tell Windows' OpenType renderer to configure default feature sets for individual fonts, so if I want to force ligatures off in a monospaced font that really shouldn't have them (looking at you, Noto Sans Mono) I can.

2) Failing that, I'd settle for a way to set default feature sets within the font file itself, or even to generate files with those replacement glyphs "baked in".

Any ideas?
