Re: [NTG-context] em-dash ligature is converted to en-dash in the generic fontloader

it looks ok in context

You need to set automatichyphenmode=0 to see the problem in context: the handling of the --- ligature is clearly broken in some cases: \starttext \automatichyphenmode=0 A---B A --- B \stoptext

Hm, I don't see those lines here

I see local tail = getprev(stop) in line 844 of font-ots.lua in a just updated context minimals. If I change this to local tail = stop as suggested by Marcel and rebuild the formats, the ligature behaves again.

(and definitely not in the tex live code freeze window)

TeXLive is frozen and pretest has begun, so I don't see a danger to apply patches now. -- Ulrike Fischer http://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/
