Dear ConTeXt folks,

some fractions (input using Compose) are not displayed in the resulting PDF files.

\starttext ⅛ ist $\frac18$.

½, ⅓, ¼, ⅕, ⅙, ⅛ \stoptext

I guess this is a font problem, but maybe fall backs could be added?

You can’t expect from a font to have glyphs for each unicode symbol and automatic fallbacks are problematic because the fallback font should match with the regular font.

For latin modern we can use Symbola http://users.teilar.gr/~g1951d/

They don’t match that well, even when you scale Symbola to fit Latin Modern you can see a difference (simplefonts use only the 10pt size of LM). \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfontfallback[Symbola][range=numberforms] \setmainfont[Latin Modern Roman] \starttext ½ ⅓ ¼ ¾ ⅕ ⅙ ⅛ ↉ \stoptext Wolfgang
