List, I have a strange case of a font feature disappearing when many fonts are used. In creating a sampler for the Jost* font (free at https://indestructibletype.com/Jost.html) and using its feature ss01 to get single-storey lower-case a, the font reverts to the default two-storey a when many weights are shown. When I create the fonts with \definefontfamily, the upright weights are fine and the italic weights revert. When I create the fonts with \definefont, the reverse is the case.

Thank you, Hans, I see now that SS01 reverses the default setting for the font. The default for the italic faces is the single-storey form, so I need only apply the changed feature to the upright faces to get what I want. -- Rik
