Jay, do you need someone else to push this for you (I can not recall who does and who does not have commit access) or is this waiting on something else?
I'd need someone else to push. It'd be useful for is someone to assess the version of pango.
Sorry, I hadn't revisited this earlier (thanks for keeping on top of these things). I updated the code review for the minimum version of pango. At this point I'd expect most linux distributions to include a version of the library with this function, but the hard requirement could potentially cause issues when configuring with distributions not containing this version. 1.38 is the version when pango_attr_font_features_new was added: https://developer.gnome.org/pango/stable/pango-Text-Attributes.html#pango-attr-font-features-new.

Currently, LilyPond doesn't support OpenType font features. For example, many fonts already contain glyphs for small caps letters, but lilypond can't access such glyphs directly since OpenType fonts don't need to have named glyphs, and you need to activate an OpenType feature (`smcp' in this particular case) so that input character codes get properly mapped to caps glyphs.
I suggest that we implement an interface similar to the `fontspec' package for XeTeX and luatex:
