Yes!
\newfontfeature{AssortedTibetanFeatures}{script=tibt;+abvs;+blws}
\fontspec[AssortedTibetanFeatures]{Tibetan Machine Uni}
(I hope that works, I haven't done too much testing with this command
and I don't know if other people are actually using it!)
I have only explicitly coded in a small subset of the unicode features,
primarily because I've never worked with scripts other than Roman. So
I'm not too sure what it all means :(
Also, OpenType features are a bit of a mess it seems to be -- it seems
to me that there's just heaps and heaps of them without any sort of
defined grouping (correct me if I'm wrong!).
However, I should go through and get nice names for the "script"
feature -- do you happen to have a link to somewhere that documents
these? It would be nice to say
\fontspec[Script=Tibetan]{Tibetan Machine Uni}
Cheers,
Will
