Is it possible to instruct Context to use a font in general, except for a single character?

Since you have mentioned elsewhere that you have \definefontfamily[…] you can set a fallback font family with \definefallbackfamily[…] and choose a font which has the character you want:

⋮ \definefallbackfamily[mainfont][rm][Latin Modern] [range=controlpictures,force=yes] \definefontfamily[mainfont] […] ⋮ \setupbodyfont[mainfont]

The 'controlpictures' Unicode block (≡ U+2400 – U+243F) contains the character you want.

Hi Kausika, This is what I tried - \definefallbackfamily [mainfont] [rm] [Latin Modern] [range=controlpictures,force=yes] \definefontfamily [mainfont] [rm] [RIT-Rachana] [features=malayalam-two] \setupbodyfont [mainfont] \starttext \title{മലയാളലിപികളുടെ ആവൃത്തി നിർണ്ണയം} ␣ \stoptext This doesn't print the open box. If I remove the definefontfamily command or define font family using only Latin Modern, open box is printed, but not the title. What am I missing? Thanks, ajith

Try with the following:

\definefallbackfamily [malayalam] [serif] [TeX Gyre Pagella][range=controlpictures,force=yes] \definefontfamily [malayalam] [serif] [RIT Rachana][features=malayalam-two]

\setupbodyfont[malayalam]

I have tested that this works on my system. Ensure that the TeX Gyre Pagella font is available on your system (ConTeXt ships with a copy of this font). If it still does not work check the log file for any messages regarding fallback font.

Hi Kaushika, Thanks. This is working. But, I don't understand why this is working while the other wasn't even when it could display the open box when it was the solo font defined? Thanks, ajith

kauśika Hi Kaushika,

You used "Latin Modern" which isn't a valid font name, the correct name is "Latin Modern Roman". Wolfgang
