I am currently trying to use a specific glyph from a TTF font in a substitution 
table.

1. I learned such glyphs in OTF or TTF fonts can be used in layout programs 
such as InDesign by selecting them directly in the glyph selection
2. Trying to understand and having checked the documentation, this seems to 
have nothing to do with the font substitution described at 
http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/1.1/fonts.html#substitution
3. Calling the glyph by HEX or Unicode is not possible since it's the same 
address

So far I was trying to understand the mechanism of subtables (GSUB Lookups) at 
all, which led me to check the content of my font with fontforge.
There I found all the corresponding tables under "Element > Font Info > 
Lookups"...

Is it possible at all to use a glyph from a substitution table in Apache FOP at 
all or am I doing something completely wrong?
I would love to have in FO the same ability as in my layout software using 
"tabular digits"...

Thank's for your help ;)

- I am running on fop-1.0 and fop-1.1 on Mac OS X with Java 1.7.0u21
- The font has been defined as
<font embed-url="fonts/DuraSans2012-Bold.ttf">
         <font-triplet name="DuraSans" style="normal" weight="bold"/>
</font>
- Very basic and simple selection of the font in fo...
<fo:block font-family="DuraSans">...</fo:block>
