Hi,
I'm trying to see what is in the fontspec package and XeTeX. I've
come across something that the manual says should work, but it
doesn't for me. The issue is shown in the minimal sample included
below. I see a WordFinal version of the ‘e’ at the end of
‘nightmare’, which I want to disable. As you can see I tried to do
that, and while there are no errors printer to the terminal, or the
log, the WordFinal ‘e’ is still there. Am I missing something?
I'm on OS X 10.4.9, and called xelatex test.tex (i.e. all default),
the version information is added below. This is with an upgraded
MacTeX (texlive2007, downloaded yesterday).

Obligatory minimal sample:
%%%
\documentclass[12pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{fontspec}% provides font selecting commands
\usepackage{xunicode}% provides unicode character macros
\usepackage{xltxtra} % provides some fixes/extras
\setmainfont[Mapping=tex-text,Ligatures={Rare,Diphthong}]{Hoefler Text}
\addfontfeature{ItalicFeatures={Contextuals=
{NoWordInitial,NoWordFinal}}}
\frenchspacing
\begin{document}
I thought it was \emph{a nightmare} to begin with.
\end{document}
