Hi, I'm writing a small report using EB Garamond as the main font. I am sometimes using Overleaf (which has a ConTeXt distribution that is accessible using a latexmkrc file). The problem is, the EB Garamond version that is included seems to have a bug: the c-t and s-t ligatures (and maybe others) are triggered when enabling `dlig` even though they are supposed to be in the `hlig` feature. I also would like to include the Hack font that isn't in the distribution. So, I'm looking for a way to embed the fonts into the project in a portable way instead of installing them in a system directory. Is there any way to do so ? The version of ConTeXt used is ConTeXt ver: 2021.03.05 19:11 MKIV fmt: 2023.4.13 int: english/english Here is a small MWE: output.tex``` \definefontfeature [myfontfeature] [default][ liga=yes, tlig=yes, dlig=yes, hlig=no, ] \definefontfamily [ebgaramond] [serif] [ebgaramond] [features=myfontfeature] \definefontfamily [ebgaramond] [math] [Garamond-Math] \definefontfamily [ebgaramond] [mono] [Hack] [tf = style:mono] \setupbodyfont[ebgaramond,12pt] \starttext The most distict sentence. \stoptext ``` latexmkrc``` $latex = 'ls /;context --luatex --synctex --batchmode %S' ``` -- Kalouguine Andre

i'm not familiar with that approach so can't see what interferes

you can try to mix selectfont and regular typoescripts: \usetypescriptfile[ebgaramond] \definefontfamily [ebgaramond] [serif] [ebgaramond] [features=eb-garamond-normal] %definefontfamily [ebgaramond] [math] [Garamond-Math] \definefontfamily [ebgaramond] [mono] [Hack] [tf=style:mono] %definetypeface [ebgaramond] [ss] [sans] [ysabeau] [default] \definetypeface [ebgaramond] [mm] [math] [ebgaramond] [default] \setupbodyfont[ebgaramond,12pt] \starttext The most distinct sentence $x$. \stoptext as you probably also want proper math.

Hi,
i'm not familiar with that approach so can't see what interferes
The most important change is that I can't update it and I can't put stuff in the system directory nor the user one. So I only have access to the project folder, it has to be self-contained.
\definefontfamily [ebgaramond] [serif] [ebgaramond] [features=eb-garamond-normal]
Apologies, my fault, I forgot a part of my email. I don't want the c-t and s-t ligatures (supposed to be in `hlig`). But I do want the T-h ligature which is supposed to be in `dlig`. So as far as I understand, TeXlive comes with an old version of EB Garamond in which all of them are in `dlig`. Hence my question about self-contained projects with fonts. Best regards, Andre

You can put the font in the local directory but i have no clue how that works with your setup because in the end the font cache is used and does a user have a local one? YOu can maybe rename the font,. put it in the work directory and make a typescript that refers to that one.

Andre (and list), EB Garamond is hopelessly broken with respect to hlig and dlig, and has been for quite a while. I reported the problem (https://github.com/octaviopardo/EBGaramond12/issues/20) over five years ago, and the maintainer (if there is one) has done nothing. See also #4 in that issues list (https://github.com/octaviopardo/EBGaramond12/issues/4). There are a couple of forks, but there is no established reference implementation that I can see. The Google Fonts implementation is similarly challenged, perhaps worse. -- Rik

Oh, I hadn't realized. I had read somewhere that the TeXlive version was simply older than the `Specimen.pdf` document and had some bugs. I hadn't realized that it wasn't fixed yet. This is unfortunate! Thanks for the information, you saved me from wasting too much time on that. Best regards, Andre
