OK, this is going to cause me some serious issues.
Should I expect this to work? I feel like, since it's actually in the OpenType standard, it should really be supported, but...
$ cat foo.fea languagesystem DFLT dflt; feature liga { rsub A' B by C; } liga; $ python3 -m fontTools.feaLib -o foo.otf foo.fea test.otf $ hb-shape foo.otf 'AB' [C=0+1292|B=1+1327] $ hb-shape --shaper=coretext foo.otf 'AB' [A=0+1296|B=1+1327]Mac OS 10.15.7.

It might work if you try it with a complex script.
