Hello, especially Hans and Kai,

I have succeeded to an extent in adding Malayalam shaping to the existing Devanagari shaping. Being a complete novice in Lua and mkiv, I'm at a point where your expertise is needed to proceed further. Please find the attached patch, test case listed below and expected rendering for comparison. Additionally needed to support:

in next beta (some a bit different)

Thank you very much for incorporating it!

Just hit this with latest beta (same test case as before):

error: .../context/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/font-odv.lua:1603: attempt to call global 'setfield' (a nil value)

As of yesterday's beta, I get the following error: font-odv.lua:879: attempt to index local 'start' (a number value)

Probably you're still updating things, am I testing prematurely?

it more looks liek some mixup of files at your end (there is no 'start' in that line)

Hi Hans, I just did a clean install of beta to be sure and the issue persists. Indeed there is no 'start' at line 879 in my system as well. I tried on two different systems (both are 32 bit Linux). Are you able to compile the test file?

Hans
