The ss## things stand for different Stylistic Sets in the font, zero means you want to use the slashed zero, and onum means to use Oldstyle Figures for the numbers, so numbers are at varying heights. (Info found here: docs.microsoft.com/en-us/typograph...)

As far as why you can't just specify true and have it turn on all the ligature options, I'm not sure, but possibly because there would be conflicting options in this particular font? I'm also curious now if someone knows the answer to that one.
