Dear consortium, Is there a command analogous to \char or \fontchar which allows me to select a glyph by its index in the font? In most font editors you can choose "Index Mode" which shows the "physical" ordering of the glyphs independent of encoding etc. I thought that \charNN (where 'NN' is a decimal integer) did this, but it does not seem to select the correct indexed glyph for a \definefont, making me wonder in MkIV has changed its behavior. For example, choosing \char35 gives me glyph index 223, not glyph 35. In any case, for the current (already tedious) project this is a feature that is sorely needed; if there is a way to hack a quick lua-based command to do it, I would appreciate any help I can get. Perhaps a future version of \fontchar can add this as an option...
