FYI: I had to skip the ttf extension, otherwise the font was not found
(it is in .local/share/fonts)

Thank you very much!

The documentation of fontspec (section 3.1.2 on character variants) was
completely confusing for me because the notions of 'glyph number' was
not explained. I think actually this is a misnomer, perhaps 'feature
number' or something like this would be better.
