As previously stated I am using the Tex version of Palladio. It is loaded 
by these statements:
\font\rm pplr8r at 10bp 
\font\it pplri8r at 10bp
etc.

I also load a Truetype font in several different sizes but that should not 
affect the body text. To get to that font I use:
\input luaotfload.sty
\font\lll={CHOPS___.TTF} at 48bp
\font\lk={CHOPS___.TTF} at 36bp
\font\hl={CHOPS___.TTF} at 16bp
\font\head={CHOPS___.TTF} at 26bp
etc.

In short except fo the script font I am using statements as I would use 
them in pdftex. I am setting up accents as I would in every version of TeX 
I have ever used. But luatex is apparently different.
