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 Uh I mean \enabletrackers[fonts.missing] \mainlanguage[hr] \starttext ȃ\stoptext
