Re: Override ranges by itself no longer selects the glyphs

Yes. This looks like a bug.

Re: How can I see the gliphs on my Word?

Does it work in Webfont Test window when you enable the feature that changes UN to # ? Does it work in the Preview Panel? If so, you need to enable the OpenType feature in Word that you have defined to make that glyph substitution in the font. Word may not support the feature. Which feature have you...

There is no Mac version. You will have to run it on a Windows emulator.

Re: Serif / Sans listed incorrectly

Uninstall them using the Creative Cloud app, and reinstall them using MainType.

Re: Serif / Sans listed incorrectly

There is a weight column. You can sort your fonts by weight: Thin, Extra Light, Light, Semi-light, Normal, Medium, Semi-bold, Bold, Extra-bold, Black.

From the Drop Down at the top of the view panel, select Font instead of Characters in Font.

Re: Historical and Discretionary Ligatures

You have the right idea. You just need to add an entry to Terminal Forms (fina) for longs > s; and the Historical Forms must precede Terminal forms in the OpenType script.
