Bug#672742: (fwd) Bug#672742: /usr/bin/xetex: xetex fails to compile documents with defaultfontfeatures set
Hi Arthur, hi everyone,
coming back to a thread from 2010:

I think there is something we have to fix in one of the packages!
This problem was *not* present in TL2009.
Here another instance and analysis sent my a bug reported on Debian.

The story goes that I first had the idea for THHGTTG while
