Hi,
I tried to make a document in Malayalam, an Indian language. However, the ligatures don't form as expected. [..] What setting am I missing?
Hi Ajith,
I don’t have any idea about Malayalam (or any other Indic language [I can deal with Latin and Greek scripts only, I’m afraid]), but this seems to work fine.
\mainlanguage[ml] \definefontfamily [malayalam] [rm] [RIT Rachana] [features=malayalam-two] \setupbodyfont [malayalam] \starttext \tf അദ്ധ്യായം\\ \em അദ്ധ്യായം\\ \bf അദ്ധ്യായം\\ \em അദ്ധ്യായം \stoptext
Fonts are RIT Rachana from http://www.rachana.org.in/.
The relevant feature here malayalam-two. I used serif (or rm), since the font looked to me more serif than sans-serif (Latin glyphs are clearly from a serif font).
The expected form is show in libre office with the same text and font, attached as an image
I would say that with malayalam-two ligatures are the same ones as in LibreOffice.
Just in case it might help,
