Thomas ?

Sorry, I have absolutely no clue what this is supposed to mean... I'm not even sure if the message comes from the core or Wolfgang's module? All I can say is: Theano-Didot is also supported by the ancientgreek module, and the font works normally here:

No issues when I run:

\starttext

\definefontfeature  [anogreek]  [script=grek,mark=yes,kern=yes,mkmk=yes,rqd=yes,   calt=yes,liga=yes,locl=yes,aalt=yes,ccmp=yes,dlig=yes,case=yes,salt=yes]

\definedfont[TheanoDidot-Regular*anogreek]

ἡ ῥητορική ἐστιν ἀντίστροφος τῇ διαλεκτικῇ: ἀμφότεραι γὰρ περὶ τοιούτων τινῶν εἰσιν ἃ κοινὰ τρόπον τινὰ ἁπάντων ἐστὶ γνωρίζειν καὶ οὐδεμιᾶς ἐπιστήμης ἀφωρισμένης: διὸ καὶ πάντες τρόπον τινὰ μετέχουσιν ἀμφοῖν: πάντες γὰρ μέχρι τινὸς καὶ ἐξετάζειν καὶ ὑπέχειν λόγον καὶ ἀπολογεῖσθαι καὶ κατηγορεῖν ἐγχειροῦσιν.

\stoptext

Anyhow, we're not going to look into it if there is no proper test file showing the problem. We don't even know what features are involved.

Hans It seems something related to simplefonts:

\starttext \usemodule[simplefonts] \setmainfont[TheanoDidot-Regular] \stoptext fonts > otf prepare > unsupported coverage contextpos for 'RQD ' Greek Caps after Accents Positioning-1 -- luigi

Dear Luigi, Thomas and Hans,

I asked to the font creator (I had other issues with the font to report) and he told me that this is actually a positive kerning in the combining diacritical mark so they look exactly like the precombined characters (so that Ἄ looks like of ῎Α).

I don't think it makes any sense to implement such a feature. And the font creator may change this to the kern feature in a future release.

I hope it helps,

well, if some feature is not supported then we need to solve it but we can wait till we run into a better defined case next time Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
