I'm now trying to find out how to setup things so that context users could also benefit from the reencoding. But the equivalent code of the code working with latex doesn't work in context
this feature is indeed not part of context
Dormant code ;-). Well in case you want to include it, here a comment: The pros are: reencode is very easy to use. You only need to find out the numbers of the original chars. The cons are that is difficult to clean up the font. E.g. it seems impossible to get a font table which doesn't show also all the original chars (which are in positions not needed after the reencoding) with the reencode-method. You can't adjust kerns and not pull characters from other fonts. A "virtual lua font" (\font\mine=luatex-fonts-demo-vf-1-invf.lua) is much more powerful (and more fun) and works fine with context too, so I think I will use it the most time and document "reencode" for (LaTeX)-users who wants to install a chess font in a simple way. -- Ulrike Fischer
