font_features non-functional on Linux #15752

Describe the bug / provide steps to reproduce it

ui_font_features doesn't seem to change the font at all.

I have set the editor to use the Inter font installed into my system, but enabling features doesn't work at all.

    "ui_font_size": 14, // Works
    "ui_font_family": "Inter", // Works
    "ui_font_features": {
        "cv08": true // Doesn't work, it's supposed to make I serif
    },

By checking the font files on FontForge I can confirm it does have the feature available.

I have no idea of how to use non-system fonts to test.

Environment

Zed: v0.145.1 (Zed) OS: Linux Wayland nobara 40 Memory: 15.4 GiB Architecture: x86_64

If applicable, add mockups / screenshots to help explain present your vision of the feature

I don't think this is related to the font.

On Linux modifying the font features doesn't work currently, IIRC.
