It is not an inappropriate list; however, you may get better mileage from
the OpenType developer communities, in particular the OT list and the VOLT
user community. For information on these, see:
http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/otlist.htm
& http://www.microsoft.com/typography/developers/volt/default.htm
For the OpenType specification and related developer documents, see:

If you are unfamiliar with OpenType, this is a good place to start:
