According to the xelatex output in the following example both
variants are not correct. What would be needed would be the first
two glyphs from variant 1 (knd2 script) and the third from variant 2
(knda script).
Pictures comparing the output can be found at
https://github.com/u-fischer/luaotfload/issues/20
(Disclaimer: I have no idea if xelatex/harfbuzz is correct here, but
https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/457427/2388 says so).

Hello!
Where is the best way to define URLs in a project?
I currently define them when I need them, but wouldn’t it be better to keep them in a project file and have only one location to edit when they change?
Greetings Axel
Hi,
There is a FontAwesome.otf file that is distributed with ConTeXt minimals.
Does anyone know what version (4 or 5) of the font it is? I am asking
because the names of the symbols used in the font do not match those on
the font-awesome website. For example, using
\showsymbolset[fontawesome]
I get that the symbol for "utensils"
(https://fontawesome.com/icons/utensils?style=solid) is actually mapped to
"food" in ConTeXt. Since the names of the symbols are now taken from the
font, my guess is that the distribution has an old version of the font
(also because it is a single font rather than three).
Would it make sense to update the fonts in the distribution? If not, then
simply remove the old version of the fonts?
Also, don't we need to update the symb-imp-fontawesome.mkiv file to work
with the new symbols. Font awesome has split the fonts into three
(https://fontawesome.com/how-to-use/on-the-desktop/setup/getting-started)
Solid, Regular, and Brands. (There are also pro version of the fonts). The
simplest way to use them will be to have three symbolsets (fontawesome,
fontawesome-solid, and fontawesome-brands), where the names are taken from
the fonts.
In the meanwhile, Hraban has painstakenly written out the mappings by
hand, but the automatic mapping might be simpler (and more future proof).
