Hello all.
Reading the manual “Fonts in ConTeXt” I found the following statement (p.97):
“In both cases we end up with a message in the log file and a resulting file with missing data”. [When the font doesn't provide a glyph].
Now, the only case when the warning is issued is using mkii with xetex (texexec -xtx), not with mkiv. (Unsurprisingly, the file with missing data is always there :-)
Minimal example:
%% start \mainlanguage[hr]
\starttext Ja sam sȃm, i sȃm sam došao da izvršim pravdu. \stoptext %% stop
The name of the char is: LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH INVERTED BREVE (0x0203)
So:
$ context prova.tex
$ grep -i -E '(warn|miss)' prova.* [ match nothing ]
$ texexec --xtx prova.tex
$ grep -i -E '(warn|miss)' prova.* prova.log:Missing character: There is no ȃ in font [lmroman12-regular]:+liga;+kern;mappi prova.log:Missing character: There is no ȃ in font [lmroman12-regular]:+liga;+kern;mappi
It's not a regression, since the behaviour is the same with the last year ConTeXt.
You can add this:
\checkcharactersinfont
and get missing characters reported to the terminal. Unfortunately I forgot () when adapting this command to the command namespace ...
\unexpanded\def\checkcharactersinfont {\ctxcommand{checkcharactersinfont()}}
(fixed in next beta)

Also enabletrackers[fonts.missing] \mainlanguage[hr] \starttext ȃ\stoptext -- luigi
