Indeed. Something I need to discuss with Wolfgang as double checking is
needed before I patch.

There is no need to go lua here (esp when you have not done vf magick
before and i'm not going to debug code that i have little clue what it's
about to do).
- we cheat here and yuse glyph scaled (I have to provide a relative to
current x/y scaling, don't use \glyphscale as that one is used by
context itself
- we use the style variant so that it adapts
- you have to replace "Serif" with "YourFont" and map that one onto a
file (YourFont YourFontBold etc)
- more about these box manipulations in the low level manual
\startsetups glyph:iTee
\dontleavehmode\hpack\bgroup
\setbox\scratchbox \ruledhbox \bgroup
\glyphxscale 400
\glyphyscale 400
\getglyphstyled{Serif}{T}% choose a font here
