For which entries can this be a problem?

That works fine - even with luaotfload and latex (after I understood
that "basemode" means that I must call the font with "mode=base").
But curiously the dimens of the char change a bit in latex. E.g.
\showthe\fontcharwd reports without the reencoding 8.99998pt, and
9.0pt with the reencoding. In context I get in both cases 9.0pt.
Is it possible to swap (or set) the "tounicode" value at his time so
that copy&paste gives again a "K" for the king and a "Q" for the
queen?
