Please excuse my naive asking: Is there any way to continue using fontspec's setmainfont command (it is convenient for someone unexperienced like me) and at the same force luaotfload into using base mode?

The following seems to work:

\documentclass{article} \usepackage[ngerman]{babel} \usepackage{fontspec} \setmainfont[RawFeature={mode=base},FeatureFile=bonum.fea]{TeX Gyre Bonum} \begin{document} fh aufhalten \end{document}

Oh joy! Thank you all, once again, for your help. It is much appreciated. (The downside: Now that I can, I have no choice but to actually fix all the terrible kerning mistakes in TeX Gyre Bonum. Hours and hours of work. Sigh...) - Till
