I don't think so.

On the contrary, I think it would be confusing if it depends on the
font name the user selects whether the `size' feature gets applied or

The user should switch off this font's `size' feature if it is not
desired.

This is another issue: It's not possible to foresee all fonts
installed by the user, so a generic solution must be found.
