[XeTeX] Printing OTF glyph features

[Adam Twardoch (List)]

Stephan,

you can print font glyphs in XeTeX using \XeTeXglyph followed by the
glyph's decimal index.

You'd need to use a different tool to do the parsing of the OpenType
Layout tables, though. The Python package FontTools/TTX or FontForge
compiled as a Python module can be used to extract this information.
You'd need to do some coding though, going through the GSUB lookups and
compile a list of glyphs that are being output.
