LibreOffice Writer?

Since LibreOffice 5.3, you can enable more advanced OpenType functionality by typing a colon + extra information after your font.

For example, to disable ligatures:

Code:
Junicode:liga=0
to enable smallcaps:

Code:
Junicode:smcp
If you want your fancy ampersands that look like 7s:

Code:
Junicode:ss02
To enable multiple, you use an ampersand:

Code:
Junicode:smcp&ss02
You can then apply these in a Style at the paragraph OR character level. For example, if you only wanted the 7-shaped '&', you'd apply a character style with :ss02.

Instead of manually typing the codes, you can also press the "Features" button:

Here's what it looks like when I used it on Junicode:
