Description

I'm not sure whether this is within the scope of what you intend, but I think it would be quite useful if CharMap could list togglable font features and which characters they affect (e.g. lining vs proportional numbers, and various kinds of ligatures).

Also, being able to see ligatures related to a particular character would be a nice addition.

Research direction

Start by reviewing CharMap's existing font and glyph viewer to understand where font feature information could be exposed. Done would include listing togglable font features with the characters they affect and showing ligatures associated with a selected character, but the issue does not identify files or tests.
