There is also the problem of unencoded glyphs (e.g. smallcaps or
oldstyle figures in most OpenType fonts), IIRC the dvi will contain the
internal PUA code points that luatex maps these glyphs to, I'm not sure
if it is easy/possible to do the reverse mapping outside luatex (and
even getting glyph indices is not enough as you need to map them back to
Unicode code points using some heuristics based on glyph names).
