Description

Would it be possible to add some way to change the default set of enabled features, for use cases where it isn't possible to select these in the application (e.g. when setting Inter UI as the default desktop font)?

Contributor guide

Research direction
Explore the Inter font build system (likely based on UFO/designspace) and understand how font features are currently set. Look for any existing configuration files (e.g., features.fea) and see how to modify them or add a build flag.
