Dear list, a question concerning combining characters: I try to make a letter out of a small elevated „e“ (unicode 0364, combining latin small letter e) with „a“, „o“ and „u“ using Junicode with Wolfgang Schuster’s typescript. In Fontforge the mark positioning lookup looks good to me, but ConTeXt somehow seems to ignore the anchors in the font. The „mark“-feature is enabled in the typescript. Maybe someone can give me a hint how to get this working? Thanks in advance! Daniel

You need at least mode=node,mark=yes features enabled. Mojca
Hi Mojca, thanks for the answer! By now I’ve enabled: \definefontfeature[default][% script=latn, mode=node, mark=yes, mkmk=yes, liga=yes, ccmp=yes, calt=yes, locl=yes ] but still the combining character doesn’t get attached to the position indicated by the anchor… so I guess that has to be some issue with the font… (By the way, I’m using mkiv beta, 2011.04.13) Thanks anyway!

You can try if XeTeX positions the accent properly if you want to test the font (XeTeX is at least a bit more reliable to do it properly and it has the feature enabled by default). \font\a=YourFont.otf \a your-sequence-with-combining-characters
(By the way, I’m using mkiv beta, 2011.04.13)
I suspect that the version you are using might be too old anyway. Back in May the feature conditionally worked for me in ConTeXt MKIV. Whenever there were some kind of boxes included, alignment was destroyed. Mojca
Hi, ok, I checked the font in indesign (well…) and there the positioning worked as expected. I’ll update ConTeXt, hopefully that helps… Thanks for the hints! Am 15.06.11 08:20, schrieb Mojca Miklavec:

of course, sorry! here it is the minimal example and the typescript

the next beta will also do
f\utfchar{"E0} and jͤ
beware: in that font the alternative f (narrower) is internally named
falternative while it's better to use f.alternative because in that case
proper tounicode entries can be constructed and copy/paste in pdf can be
supported (a font buglet)
