Without fontspec and without luainputenc it uses

LMRoman10-Regular  Type 1C

and with fontspec it uses

LMRoman10-Regular-Identity-H   CID Type 0C

However, using fontspec should be the default and then there is
no need for luainputenc

> Herbert Voss, asked why I needed luainputenc : I need some symbols which are not available without luainputenc, unless I switch to fontspec. Being a happy user of the fouriernc fonts, I have yet to find an Opentype font matching fouriernc. TexGyre Schola is unfortunately not an option : as seen on http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/TeX-Gyre-Schola , the dots on i’s are hardly readable, which is not the case with fouriernc.
