does the font that you use have greek symbols?

It seems to be a bug in code, not the lack of symbols. It fails in Gentium as well. The code (\greeknumerals{3}) doesn't return anything, but it works in MKII.

Can you make a example because it works for me: \setupbodyfont[gentium] \starttext \startitemize[g] \dorecurse{10}{\startitem #1 = \greeknumerals{#1} \stopitem} \stopitemize \stoptext The difference between mkii and mkiv is that mkii use math mode to display the greek characters while mkiv takes them from the bodyfont and latin modern has no greek.

LM has upper case Greek, no idea why not lower case as well. Regards, Khaled -- Khaled Hosny Arabic localiser and member of Arabeyes.org team Free font developer

I still find the idea of greek letters in a font called "latin" interesting... :-)

I'm more interested about the reasoning behind the partial support, it would either not support Greek at all (after all it is Latin), or fully support monotonic Greek at least (even though it is Latin, we all love Greek and Don have already drawn them).
