great ... another non standard use of names ... in a few years open type 
will be as big a mess as type one

you can play with:

local tlig = {
  -- endash        = "hyphen hyphen",
  -- emdash        = "hyphen hyphen hyphen",
     [0x2013]      = { 0x002D, 0x002D },
     [0x2014]      = { 0x002D, 0x002D, 0x002D },
  -- quotedblleft  = "quoteleft quoteleft",
  -- quotedblright = "quoteright quoteright",
  -- quotedblleft  = "grave grave",
  -- quotedblright = "quotesingle quotesingle",
  -- quotedblbase  = "comma comma",
}

in font-otc.lua (remake the format and wipe the font cache)
