Can't output direct glyphs either in MKIV or LMTX

Hello list. I'm trying to call a direct glyph from the Phaistos font, but it seems it doesn't work. The font is loaded, the log file says it so: system > 12: filename=/home/vantta/.fonts/Phaistos.otf format=otf foundname=/home/vantta/.fonts/Phaistos.otf fullname=/home/vantta/.fonts/Phaistos.otf usedmethod=direct However, the glyph is not displayed in the pdf. I've tried both in MKIV and LMTX with no luck. Maybe someone here will have a clue.

I don’t have the font, but is u101F2 the glyphs’ name, or its code point? Try this: \starttext \usemodule [fnt-10] \ShowCompleteFont{name:phaistos}{14pt}{1} \stoptext
