Hi Again,
I am now trying to grock LuaTeX otfload, that is ContTexts font loading system.

and GPOS Lookup support in the font.loader and font-otf.lua.
Do you know off hand, if these features are already implemented in Contexts
or just not available in LuaTeX?
Sorry, to everybody else I will this is getting OT(this is a XeTeX-List) and I
will take this off list,
if Arthur does not mind.
