Like the other bug reported by RGB, I can confirm this one as well.

The Standard Ligatures (liga) are on by default if the font has some. But it
cannot be turned off, since it is not shown as activated.

The "kerning" feauture (Horizontal Kerning; "kern"), for example, is also
activated by default. This is also not reflected by the checkbox in the font
features dialogue. But it is shown in the "Position" tab ("Pair Kerning").
I am not sure, but I think this is the same function. Is that so?
Maybe someone of you who can look "behind the scenes" can tell.

If I turn off "Pair Kerning" and activate "Horizontal Kerning", I see no
changes. So it could be the same function. If possible, I would remove it from
the "Position" tab and show the activation in the font features. I don’t think
it is directly related to the character spacing function, behin which it is
posited at the momnent.

Incidentally, "Pair Kerning" does not create a "suffix" after the font name
(e.g. "Arial:kern"), "kern" does. I think it should be left out for every font
feature, since it just distracts, looks odd, and can lengthen the font name a
lot, for exeample if you have turned on 5 or 6 features. In Incscape and
Scribus, for example, there is also no suffix. So there one could find
inspiration for how to implement it. If I have to file an enhancement report
for that, just tell me.
