There is an oddity in processing Greek. The combining diacritical perispomenon is not positioned properly, though it appears as it should in the source file. This diacritical is placed properly if one inserts the appropriate character directly. The PDF file produced by this sample shows the problem as it appears using two different Greek fonts. The first entries in each line are incorrect. \definefontfamily[mainface][serif][IFAO Grec Unicode] \setupbodyfont[mainface, 24pt] \definefont[HellenicaCU][file:HellenicaCU.ttf at 24pt] \starttext αῖ %combining diacritical αῖ %char 1FD6 \HellenicaCU{ αῖ %combining diacritical αῖ %char 1FD6 } \stoptext As I review my files, I see that this is a fairly recent problem, though I cannot say exactly when it first occurred. The other combining diacriticals process as they should. Alan

looks ok here ... assuming i have the right font you can try to wipe the font cache (otf and otl) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

I can't test with HellenicaCU as I don't have the font, but I can confirm that output is good here with the IFAOGrec font, the combining circumflex is where it belongs. (most recent beta) Thomas

Thanks, Hans and Thomas. The problem is at my end. I have done more testing and suspect that the the culprit is the Greek keyboard that I am using. I have a few other keyboards (which I like much less) and there is no problem with them. (Deleting caches and so on had no impact.) Alan On Mon, Jan 18, 2016 at 4:55 PM, Thomas A.
