If it was me, I would go for an active character, as that seems the most straightforward solution. > Again, no problem: with a fea file, I can write a sub rule > > sub exclam by dotbelowcomb It is better to forget about fea files alltogether.

Mkiv has an interface for virtual math, but I am not sure whether that also works for text fonts (not do I know how, if so). If it does not yet but could be made to do so, then that would be a very useful extension to the font fallbacks...
