Thank you!

There seems to be a problem with Webdings.ttf: Fontexplorer shows glyph numbers with an 0xf000 offset, i.e. spider at 0xf021 instead of 0x0021. But ConTeXt can’t seem to find the glyphs even at the correct location, but by name it works.

So I exported the name list with fontforge and created the attached set - feel free to add it to the distribution.
Also Wingdings.

Access by number works with other fonts, e.g. with Symbola.otf – I just introduced an error when I copied the webdings code and forgot to change the font name reference.

Greetlings, Hraban
