Thanks for the clarification, Wolfgang.

Well, there's the problem, I think. Jos Buivenga, aka exljbris,
Calluna's font designer, has done a superb job on the graphics (in my
eyes), but his stylistic sets or otf features seem to be full of holes,
as far as I understand them, which is perhaps not very far.
What I'm looking for is a way on the TeX, LuaTeX or ConTeXt level to
define "environments" ('scuse my LaTeX slang) within which certain glyph
substitutions happen. Then I could kind of redefine a thing like \sc to
use the smallcaps ß and switch to smallcaps lining figures, if
available, or, otherwise, scaled-down uppercase lining figures. I have
still other fish to fry in this context, but a general hint where to
look for something like this would be helpful.
Thanks a lot so far -- Thomas
