Is it possible to use \addfontfeature for specific characters?

Question

Is it possible to use \addfontfeature for specific characters? Something like this MWE in order to get every e of the document with double size:

\usepackage{fontspec}
\usepackage{hyperref}

\setmainfont{Latin Modern}
\setmainfont{Latin Modern}[Scale=2.0, range = {e}]

\begin{document}

Test


\end{document}

Yes, if you use XeLaTeX. See How to set a particular glyph to be of a particular typeface in XeLaTeX for the general method. Since LuaLaTeX doesn't have this facility it would need to be done differently (not sure if it's possible.) — Alan Munn, Nov 15 '16 at 05:06
@AlanMunn; With lualatex you can to it with combo fonts, but there isn't a fontspec interface yet: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/314397/defining-new-font-family-with-fontspec/314401#314401 — Ulrike Fischer, Nov 15 '16 at 08:40
@UlrikeFischer: are there going to be high-level command for this in the near future? — Kyle_the_hacker, Nov 15 '16 at 11:22

In ConTeXt you can use the fallback mechanism.

\definefallbackfamily [mixedfont] [rm] [Latin Modern Roman] [scale=2,range=0x65,force=yes]
\definefontfamily     [mixedfont] [rm] [Latin Modern Roman]

\setupbodyfont[mixedfont]
\starttext

Test

\stoptext
