So a different approach is needed. In another thread we've found out that
there are two glyphs of the same name:

glyph index | glyph name
1110        | i.sc        / small caps dotlessi
1170        | i.sc        / small caps i 

Currently when 'i' is to be rendered as small caps, 1170 is used, but I'd
like to use 1110 instead.

Can this be specified using a LFG file?

Thanks, Jan
