If a font has OpenType features available, then the UI label for the corresponding
OpenType feature will appear enabled in the OpenType dialog, otherwise the UI
label will appear grayed out. The check box for the OpenType features are
independent of the availability of the OpenType feature in the applied font. This
allows the user to set the OpenType attributes during style sheet creation or
modification.
