+Unqualified font lookups are treated with the flexible “anonymous”
+mechanism. This involves a chain of lookups applied successively until
+the first one yields a match. By default, the lookup will first search
+for TFM fonts using the Kpathsea library. If this wasn’t successful, an
+attempt is made at interpreting the request as an absolute path (like
+the ``[/path/to/font/foo.ttf]`` syntax) or a file name
+(``file:foo.ttf``). Finally, the request is interpreted as a font name
+and retrieved from the index (``name:Foo Regular``). This behavior can
+be configured by specifying a list as the value to ``anon-sequence``.
+Available items are ``tex``, ``path``, ``name`` -- representing the
+lookups described above, respectively --, and ``file`` for searching a
+filename but not an absolute path.

The ``color-callback`` option determines the stage at which fonts that
defined with a ``color=xxyyzz`` feature will be colorized. By default
this happens in a ``post_linebreak_filter`` but alternatively the
