No.  Text handling is done by the Pango library.  Unfortunately, we
don't have an interface yet to control OpenType features.  This is
issue #1388.  The main problem is designing a good interface for
Lilypond; the implementation itself should be rather easy.

No idea.  Minimum example, please.  Are you using Windows?
