during my attempts to patch the Palatino's dotless 'i' I found that this font is parsed incorrectly by ConTeXt.
Comparing index/name info of individual glyphs in the font software and resulting pala.tma file there is the following difference:
Index | Name - font | Name - tma 1110 | dotlessi.smcp | i.sc (1) 1170 | i.smcp | i.sc (2)
(2) - this is a composite character which consist of dotlessi.smcp and dot.
The first one should have IMHO a different name, e.g. dotlessi.sc (to keep conventions). The same name for two glyphs might be dangerous.
the font pala.ttf has two entries i.sc and i see no reference to *.smcp
The version of my Palatino is 5.0 (I run on Win7) It is located at c:/windows/fonts/pala.ttf There is no 'i.sc' glyph available according to the font software, only those .smcp, listed in the smcp6 table. As there are only .sc names in the TMA file, I suppose there is some kind of name normalization. But not very precise...
(mtxrun --script --save pala.ttf)
This returns an error: c:/windows/fonts/pala.ttf:1: unexpected symbol Jan
