Re: [NTG-context] Strange spurious character

19 Nov 2016

      Hi Hans,

Indeed with your solution, that is saying

\definefallbackfamily[mainface][serif][texgyrepagella]
\definefontfamily[mainface][sans][texgyrepagella]
\setupbodyfont[mainface]

or more simply saying

\setupbodyfont[palatino,12pt]

there is no problem. It seems that the issue comes from the use of

\definefontfamily[mainface][sans][palatino]

in the example I sent.
So I am going to use your way of defining the fontfamily.

Thanks again and best regards: OK

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.

I don't know,
\definefallbackfamily[mainface][serif][texgyrepagella]
\definefontfamily[mainface][sans][texgyrepagella]
\setupbodyfont[mainface]

works ok here so you need to check what palatino gets selected (maybe you need to be more specific)
