I was planning to spend some time on at least typesetting Devanagari with ConTeXt in the foreseenable future. I'll come back with this in a couple of weeks. Greetings, Daniel Stender On 23.06.2011 09:38, Hans Hagen wrote:

I don't know to what extent the support is missing (how complex are the typographical rules apart from just sticking the letters close enough together and use ligatures), but there is also a chance that the features are added if that is simple enough.
AFAIK, Indic is the biggest OpenType mysteries and no one seems to get it right, apart from MS who wrote the spec (there is even two incompatible specs, abandoned one that is supported by FOSS implementations and a new one that only MS implements.)
Indeed, and I even played with it for a while but as it needs additional coding (the font is just part of the game) I decided that it only made sense to spend time on it if there is real demand for it (plus enough info). It could make a pet project for winter evenings. it's unlikely that I need it in a project so that doesn't help either.
