Hi Ale,

Probably no font has all those features. But I have attached a LO-Writer 
document that names and uses fonts which have those features. 
(Hint: Minion Pro is not a completely free font. You can get it by getting 
the Adobe Reader – this way, it is only free for private use. I don’t 
know a completely free font that has the Contextual Swash feature.)

Is a Writer document, as I attached one, what you meant? Because I can of course 
not show and use these features in a .sla file, since Scribus doesn’t have these features.


Regarding the other two things, I will file tickets.

Thanks already!

Tobias
