Dear All,

during my attempts to patch the Palatino's dotless 'i' I found that this font is parsed incorrectly by ConTeXt.

Comparing index/name info of individual glyphs in the font software and resulting pala.tma file there is the following difference:

Index | Name - font | Name - tma 1110 | dotlessi.smcp | i.sc (1) 1170 | i.smcp | i.sc (2)

(2) - this is a composite character which consist of dotlessi.smcp and dot.

The first one should have IMHO a different name, e.g. dotlessi.sc (to keep conventions). The same name for two glyphs might be dangerous.

the font pala.ttf has two entries i.sc and i see no reference to *.smcp (mtxrun --script --save pala.ttf) naming of glyphs is somewhat fuzzy and not always consistentent in fonts but i fear there is not much we can do here (apart from using palatino nova instead) Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
