Hans, with the following sample: \usemodule[newotf] %~ \setupbodyfont %~ [palatino] \starttext --- em--dash (with en--dash inside) \stoptext I discovered that em- and en-dashes aren’t enabled by default. Is this intended? Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Hans, I’m afraid it still falis with beta from 2015.07.12 00:00, the same way as Rik described. May the different behaviour caused by the fact that you use LuaTeX-0.80.1 (as displayed in http://www.pragma-ade.com/general/qrcs/setup-en.pdf) and we have LuaTeX-0.80? Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

I do it everytime I update the beta. But I did it again. I even installed the Suite from scratch. I’m afraid none of them worked. Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Many thanks for the new beta. I’m afraid that this sample doesn’t work with latest beta either: \usemodule[newotf] \definefontfeature[noliga][liga=no] \starttext \startTEXpage[offset=1em] fiflff no--liga: \addfeature[noliga]fiflff --- em--dash \stopTEXpage \stoptext I may be wrong, but I think that the non-deactivated OpenType feature is related to the non-activated em- and en-dashes. To the list members: could you test the sample above and tell em- and en-dashes work and if no-liga disables ligatures? Adding architecture may help. I’m on Linux 32bits.

I’m using current version: 2015.07.12 00:00 on MacOSX 10.10 I get ligatures in both cases and neither em nor en dash. Now I have current version: 2015.07.12 15:40 still on MacOSX 10.10 No ligatures in the second case and both en and em dash. Axel

Many thanks for your reply, Axel. For some strange reason I also get ligatures with latest beta from 2015.07.12 15:40 (which I shouldn’t get). Everything works as expected when commenting \usemodule[newotf]. Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

I use the one installed after updating the beta. I have just checked it and it differs from the one you sent to the mailing list. Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk

Pablo Same result as Pablo: the ligatures remain even with liga=no, and the hyphens are not replaced by appropriate dashes. Win64 8.1 with ConTeXt 2015.07.12 15:40 build and LuaTeX 0.80.1 rev 5274. My texmf-local contains only a locally-updated version of t-smartref.mkvi.

I also have other problems with newotf and definefontfeature that I will put in a separate message. -- Rik Kabel

Thank you, Hans, for the fixes to feature handling in 2015-07-15 10:37. Now both the dashes and ligatures in this thread and the failed build with script=hebr (whatever the relationship to the particular script) work as expected. -- Rik

Hans, checking beta from 2015.07.12 23:30 in Win7 64bit works fine (ligatures, no ligatures and dashes) with newotf. But I’m afraid that beta from 2015.07.14 10:37 doesn’t work disabling ligatures and enabling dashes in Linux 32bit. I’ll try to check the Linux 32bit ConTeXt with another computer.

Hans, the problem was fixed when I remembered to remove the m-newotf.mkiv file you sent to the list from my home directory. Sorry for the noise. I’m still experiencing the issue with a particular font. Since the font was generated with FontForge, I would like to know what the font is missing to report the bug upstream. Many thanks for your help, Pablo -- http://www.ousia.tk
