Hi!
I have two questions regarding addressing glyphs in Lua:
1) How to address glyphs in slots as e.g. U+F0029?
2) How to address glyphs by name?
Use:
\startluacode
   fonts.handlers.otf.addfeature {
     name = "foo",
     type = "substitution",
     data      = { [0xF0029] = 0xF0030 }, -- ← doesn't work
   }
\stopluacode

Sorry, here it is:

\startluacode
  fonts.handlers.otf.addfeature {
    name = "phone",
    type = "substitution",
    data      = { [0x260E] = 0xF003A }, --  doens't work
  }
\stopluacode

\definefontfeature [phone] [phone=yes]

\definefallbackfamily [mainface] [serif] [MarVoSym] [range=0x260E,
features=phone] \definefontfamily     [mainface] [serif] [TeX Gyre
Pagella] \setupbodyfont        [mainface]

\starttext
  substitution: \utfchar{"260E} %% black telephone
  \blank direct:
  \resolvedglyphdirect {name:marvosym}{n:Mobilefone} %% works
\stoptext

%% glyph name and slot taken from
%%
%% \usemodule [fnt-10]
%% \starttext
%%   \ShowCompleteFont{name:marvosym}{10pt}{1}
%% \stoptext
...
... anyway, glyph names should normally work (given that they are
sane ones, because in context we strip some)
The question is how to input the name in the Lua code (here:
“Mobilefone”). And it seems like substitutions don't work beyond
0xFFFF.
