Re: Supporting stylistic sets

Simply pass both of their tags to hb_shape_full, which I think would be done something like this:

hb_feature_t features[] = {{HB_TAG("c","v","0","6"), 1, start, end}, {HB_TAG("c","v","0","8"), 1, start, end}};

hb_shape_full(font, buffer, features, 2, NULL);

So what do I do if I want variant 4 for 'i' and variant 2 for 'l'?
