Wonderfull!
I'm starting to get the hang of it. Even the stylistic sets work like a charm. 
I've attached the output file in case you want to have a look at what I'm doing 
here.
Now one last question would be: How can I insert a certain character with its 
opentype name? For example \insertopentypecharacter{f_f_h.alt}. That would be 
cool because otfinfo -g shows all the glyph names and one must not fiddle arount 
with hex numbers or char-stuff.
In XeTeX it is possible to do so with \XeTeXglyph\XeTeXglyphindex"Q.alt1" (or 
Q.alt2). That would access the first (or second) alternate glyph for the letter 
Q.

You really helped a lot here. Thank you!

Chris
