++hb_aat_layout_feature_selector_t
++hb_aat_layout_get_feature_types()
++hb_aat_layout_feature_type_get_name_id
++hb_aat_layout_feature_selector_info_t
++HB_AAT_LAYOUT_NO_SELECTOR_INDEX
++hb_aat_layout_feature_type_get_selector_infos()
++hb_ot_var_axis_flags_t
++hb_ot_var_axis_info_t
++hb_ot_var_get_axis_infos()
++hb_ot_var_find_axis_info()
++hb_ot_var_get_named_instance_count()
++hb_ot_var_named_instance_get_subfamily_name_id()
++hb_ot_var_named_instance_get_postscript_name_id()
++hb_ot_var_named_instance_get_design_coords()
+
+Deprecated API:
++HB_OT_VAR_NO_AXIS_INDEX
++hb_ot_var_axis_t
