Hello! I'm working on a small presentation for an upcoming video meeting and started writing some points in Markdown. After using Pandoc to convert I noticed that *.pptx file does contain everything, but if I try with ConTexT, then Devanagi and some diacritics are missing. By inspecting *.pdf file produced by: Pandoc --> PPTX --> LibreOffice --> PDF I can see that Lohit-Devanagari font is used for Sanskrit and I have it installed on my Fedora (fc32) desktop machine. Here is the test file: \starttext ध्यायतो विषयान्पुंसः सङ्गस्तेषूपजायते । सङ्गात्सञ्जायते कामः कामात्क्रोधोऽभिजायते ॥ ६२ ॥ dhyāyato viṣayān puṁsaḥ saṅgas teṣūpajāyate saṅgāt sañjāyate kāmaḥ kāmāt krodho ’bhijāyate Translation: ``While contemplating the objects of the senses, a person develops attachment for them, and from such attachment lust develops, and from lust anger arises.'' \stoptext which I would like to quote - I am somewhat familiar with latin transliteration via diacritics, but completely ignorant in regard to Devanagari - but wonder what is required to make ConText (lmtx) typeset it? Here is the log file: $ context t.tex resolvers | formats | executing runner 'run luametatex format': /home/gour/opt/lmtx/tex/texmf-linux-64/bin/luametatex --jobname="t"

Devanagari and diacritics. :-) Sincerely, Gour -- From wherever the mind wanders due to its flickering and unsteady nature, one must certainly withdraw it and bring it back under the control of the self.
