There's a simple explanation: I didn't receive the previous on-list
replies. I just searched my spam folders and ConTeXt list folder, and
I still can't find them. Very mysterious.

That gives me an error:
! LuaTeX error <main ctx instance>:35: attempt to index field
'iterators' (a nil value)
stack traceback:
<main ctx instance>:35: in function 'show_all'
<main ctx instance>:1: in main chunk.
\ShowCompleteFont ... \ctxlua { fonts.show_all() }
\stopcolumns \page \egroup
l.146 ...ompleteFont{name:dejavusansmono}{10pt}{1}
I'd really like to know how to get a dump of all the symbols in a font
with the codes to address them by, as in general I don't think we can
expect Hans to build indices for every dingbat font out there :-)
I actually had no idea that the glyphs in font files had font-specific
names. I thought they were just numbered according to some standard
encoding, and that it was a matter of translating from glyph name or
Unicode number to whatever encoding was used in the font file.
