Some OpenType fonts have switchable features like "old-style" figure numerals, alternate glyphs, that sort of thing. I'd love to be able to turn these on at the operating system level so that even if software doesn't recognize such features, the OS will provide the font as requested and the software will never know the difference.

AFAIK, Windows doesn't provide this facility. Does anything else?
