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?
Of course not. But some addition still do make sense (and if you have some on your wishlist, you can submit patches).
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.
It is (although I could imagine that it might have been filled with an older version of that list, but there are not so many differences anyway).
The only list I found is from 2002, this mean Hans list is from ???
Hans, should contextnames.txt be deleted now? So that only one list will be kept up to date.
What was this list used for?
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.
Sure. I have agreed that some macro to get a glyph by name would be handy (and could be supported in both engines easily).
