If font features are enabled (via the Graphite appended tag mechanism) are they
passed through to the replacement font? And what happens when the replacement
font has no support for a particular smart font feature?

Likewise, for the target font and replacement, should there be a difference
between the core font and a font with its features enabled.  IIUC currently we
only handle the core font as target and as replacement.

For example a text run in Writer in Time New Roman with Small Caps set with
:smcp flag. The flag can be added to the listbox entry for the target font, but
then the font will not be found.  While a replacement of Time New Roman with
:smcp set with Biolinum G will keep the :smcp feature formatting. But
replacement with Liberation Serif will not.

But this is an aside to what Jan-Marek is poking at here regards the GUI, with
the enabling check box being below the font target and replacement table. And
what difference between the apply 'Always' and 'Screen only' checkboxes.
