Re: [NTG-context] Strange spurious character

Hi Hans, Thanks for the quick fix. Indeed the spurious character does not show up anymore, but in the minimal example below the default body font seems to be set to bold italic, please see the attached PDF (I did not observe this in my real documents, but curiously it shows up in this minimal example): it may be that I am using a wrong font definition here. The version of ConTeXt is 2016.11.18 22:20 MKIV beta fmt: 2016.11.18. %%%% begin bug-beta.tex \definefallbackfamily[mainface][serif][palatino] \definefontfamily[mainface][sans][palatino] \setupbodyfont[mainface] \starttext Why is the text in bold italic? \stoptext %%%% end bug-beta.tex Best regards: OK

Hi Hans,

After having updated my installation of ConTeXt, I noticed the presence of a spurious « ß » character at the top of every document, or sometimes in the footer, or in the header. Also in the example below the text is typeset with bold italic, even though there is no request for it.

Here is a minimal example: %%%% begin bug-beta.tex \definefallbackfamily[mainface][serif][palatino] \definefontfamily[mainface][sans][palatino] \setupbodyfont[mainface]

\starttext

Why is there a « ß » LATIN SMALL LETTER SHARP S above?

Why is the text in bold italic?

\stoptext %%%% end bug-beta.tex

fixed
