Title:
  Feature request: alternate glyph support (OpenType)

Status in Inkscape:
  Fix Committed
Status in inkscape package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  The only thing making me consider the switch to InDesign is the fact
  that InkScape can't access OpenType glyph alternates in professional
  fonts, nor make use of the marvelous automatic capacities of OpenType
  such as contextual alternates. I vastly prefer InkScape otherwise, and
  want to keep using it permanently—but for many typographers, this
  feature is necessary.
