Hi Greg,

> I don't find any Scripter command setFontFeatures(). As I look at the documentation, when font features are referred to, they're talking about OpenType font features.

I didn't find it either in Scribus Manual's Scripter API > Handling Text Frames.

But is listed here https://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Automatic_Scripter_Commands_list and seems to have an effect. In this context is seems to refer to font variations/transforms : underline, strike, superscript, subscript, etc..

thanks, it seems like the best way to do it !

Regarding "font features", I wrongly tested with setFontFeatures("bold") which doesn't seem to be supported, but setFontFeatures("underline") looks like it should be supported but not added with the correct attribute name.
