In the last beta, 'tlig' font feature doesn't work with 'mode=node' anymore, that is I can't use it with Arabic: \definefontfeature[default][default][mode=node] \usetypescript[palatino] \setupbodyfont[palatino] \starttext - -- --- \stoptext I'm not sure since when it was broken, but it has been working few betas ago.
