Ligatures in programming fonts: hell no
> The tangent in (1) on how they contradict unicode could have been skipped as well
Not only because confusables already exist, but also (as I already said[1] the previous time this was posted) covering all ligatures used in all typographical styles is very much a non-goal of Unicode. The official position is that the font shaping layer[2] sits atop Unicode’s semantic representation and is free to ligate, spindle, or mutilate it for display however it prefers (at least for Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic it’s a preference; other scripts can’t be rendered at all without doing it, such as Arabic—barring the legacy presentational forms—or Burmese[3]).
The only reason Unicode even has those ligatures is that some IBM encodings (which were more presentational in nature) encoded them, and IBM employees wrote a large part of the early standard (based on the decades of i18n experience they had at that point) and wanted roundtripping.

Is there a way modify a font so that one of its stylistic alternate characters is used by default?
If you have a little command line comfort this does the trick very capably: https://twardoch.github.io/fonttools-opentype-feature-freezer/

Is there any way to use font features in Emacs?
a bit of a workaround that I have been using I found on this blog post. Essentially, they use this tool https://github.com/twardoch/fonttools-opentype-feature-freezer to enable font variants by default. Though I'm not certain if it works with ligatures.
- OpenType Feature Freezer With OpenType Feature Freezer, you can “freeze” some OpenType features into a font. These features are then “on by default”.

Is there a program to export fonts with OpenType features applied?
This sounds like what I need, but the maintainer deleted the Windows version.
What are some alternatives?
fbpdf - A small framebuffer pdf, djvu, epub, xps, and cbz viewer
fontfreeze - Freeze variations and features in font.
utf8proc - a clean C library for processing UTF-8 Unicode data
