UTF-8 characters being dropped from typefile
Sorry for this really, really basic question but... I have the following 3 line source file: \starttext \typefile{test-listing.txt} \stoptext The file "test-listing.txt" is UTF-8 and includes the character U+25B8 (black right-pointing small triangle) which is being dropped from the output. The console shows: fonts > checking > char ▸ (U+025B8) in font 'LMMono12-Regular' with id 8: missing Which explains why the character is being dropped. What I don't understand is why is LMMono12-Regular being used? I thought I had read somewhere that TeX Gyre fonts were now the default (I'm on ConTeXt ver: 2020.11.05 23:01 LMTX) ? If not, is there an installation level config setting to make them the default or do I need to work out the relevant \start ... \stoptypescript commands? Thanks in advance. -- Bruce Horrocks Hampshire, UK

Hi Bruce, a MWE that shows your problem would be: \setupbodyfont[cursor] \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=1em] a ▸ \stopTEXpage \stoptext
Which explains why the character is being dropped. What I don't understand is why is LMMono12-Regular being used? I thought I had read somewhere that TeX Gyre fonts were now the default (I'm on ConTeXt ver: 2020.11.05 23:01 LMTX) ?
Latin Modern are the default fonts in ConTeXt. BTW, TeX Gyre Cursor doesn’t seem to contain the character you mention.
If not, is there an installation level config setting to make them the default or do I need to work out the relevant \start ... \stoptypescript commands?
I think the first line in the sample above shows a simple approach. I hope it helps, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

DejaVu has the symbol and can be a option either as main font or just as fallback (but this can break the alignment) for another font. \setupbodyfont [dejavu] \starttext \rm Triangle: ▸ \ss Triangle: ▸ \tt Triangle: ▸ \stoptext Wolfgang
