I know a good font for (La)TeX. This is 256-glyphs non-unicode LH-fonts. I use XeTeX with Unicode encoding. There are many chars with codes above 256. XeTeX currently doesn't know which glyphs are present in such fonts. How to map these unicode codes to glyph slot codes between 128 and 255? I want something like that.

Macro \glyphcode does not exist. But I would like 

\font\lh = larm1000
\glyphcode \lh `\п = 239
\lh п

To print "п" by "larm1000"-font XeTeX must use 239 glyph from larm1000 rather than unicode code. I know bad workaround

\catcode`\п = 13 \def п{\char239 }

But I want letters to have 11 catcode.

You can use such fonts the same way you used them with 8-bit TeX engines. – Khaled Hosny Jan 16 at 16:01
Yes, of course. But I want to use utf8. I need some chars like ≤ ≥ ∑ ∆ √ ∫ ˚ … – Alexey Malistov Jan 16 at 16:17
You can probably use xetex-inputenc for that. – Khaled Hosny Jan 16 at 20:53

Unfortunately, it seems that character mapping like mapping=tex-text cannot be applied to fonts in TFM format, which instead I hoped for. But the LA fonts are incorporated in the CMUnicode fonts that are available in TeX Live – egreg Jan 16 at 20:59
egreg! That's it! CMUnicode. – Alexey Malistov Jan 16 at 21:34
