usp10: When checking font for shaping the font needs at least 1 of the features but does not need all.

The integer part is the number of days to be added to the epoch
(1899-12-30), and the fractional part (disregarding sign) represents
the fraction of that day that has elapsed.

For 0.0 < x < 1.0, DATE values x and -x represent the same date/time:
30-Dec-1899 at some time determined by x.  When converting from DATE,
either value is accepted.  When converting to DATE, the positive value
is produced.
