    OTF import strips out features. Is this intended?
    De-compiling can be tricky, for sure ;)

    the main problem is that is really hard to extract the same features from a compiled font. Im thinking how to solve this….

    Yeah, this is a really hard thing to get right. I’ve done a lot of work on it and maybe you could add to it:

    http://code.typesupply.com/browser/packages/feaTools2/trunk/Lib/feaTools2

    from feaTools2 import decompileBinaryToFeaSyntax
    path = “/Users/you//blah/blah/Blah-Blah.otf”
    print decompileBinaryToFeaSyntax(path)

    GPOS lookup types aren’t supported, the GSUB lookup types are limited to what I needed at the time, it needs more robust testing, etc. But, I was pretty far along and the results were very promising.
