ah so you know the number ...
\getglyph{name:TeXGyreHeros-Regular}{\char"2329}
should also work then
Is it also possible to select glyphs with the "Adobe names", I saw you have a complete list char-def.lua and it would be nice to write \getnamedglyph{name:TeXGyreHeros-Regular}{angleleft} with the same result as above.
One thing that you can try is to add contextname='angleleft' to the corresponding entry in char-def.lua and then use \getglyph{name:TeXGyreHeros-Regular}{\angleleft} improvements for char-def.lua are welcome anyway.
Do you really a contextname for every adobename in the list? I would be enough for me access the glyphs by name, I don't a macro for every character but the list for adobenames should be filled with the information from glyphlist.txt. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/opentype/archives/glyph.html
Hans, should contextnames.txt be deleted now? So that only one list will be kept up to date.
XeTeX offers \XeTeXglyphdindex{angleleft} (in LuaTeX you can achieve the same with some coding), but I agree that some high-level macro to access glyphs by name might be handy.
I know XeTeX offers this method but method for XeTeX and LuaTeX would be better, it could be used as replacement for \symbol a many cases, untill you have the requestet glyph in your font but a fallback mode would be nice in this situation. Wolfgang
