true if str is successfully parsed, false otherwisefeatureFromString
fn
harfbuzz.types.Bool featureFromString(ubyte[] str, out harfbuzz.feature.Feature feature)Parses a string into a #hb_feature_t.
The format for specifying feature strings follows. All valid CSS font-feature-settings values other than 'normal' and the global values are also accepted, though not documented below. CSS string escapes are not supported.
The range indices refer to the positions between Unicode characters. The position before the first character is always 0.
The format is Python-esque. Here is how it all works:
