--- Comment #3 from V Stuart Foote <vstuart.foote at utsa.edu> ---
OK, so looking at DM Sans [1], the glyps you want to use are part of its
"Stylistic Alternates", the 'a' is in "Stylistic Set 2" (a.ss02) and the '3' is
in "Stylistic Set 4" (3.ss04).

We don't expose the alternates in the Special Character dialog, but that might
be a useful enhancement. Rather the alternates are selected from the
'Character...' dialog which will display a preview of the glyph(s) to be
rendered, including alternates exposed with the 'Features...' button that opens
and exposes the 'Font Features' dialog. Applicable to both Graphite and
OpenType fonts, the dialog provides checkbox toggles for all features of the
font.

And when applied, the Font name field will be appended with the stylistic set.

Because the glyph you want come from two different 'Stylistic Sets' they have
to be individually selected and have feature applied. The access all will mix
the result.
