Hmm, this is something I need for a presentation next week, so can I  
ask again: how can I address arbitrary symbols in luaTeX? There has to  
be some way, right? I'm also quite willing to look into the luaTeX way  
of constructing a virtual font (I need some metrical and some math  
symbols which I want to take from a different font), but I'm not sure  
if there's any example out there how to do this.

Thanks!

Thomas
