I have had trouble processing text with diacritical marks using the more recent betas and the Brill font. Some of this can be remedied by re-entering the diacritical marks in the source file. (This works very well with Greek.) But there remain some problem passages. Consider: \definefontfamily[mainface][serif][Brill] %[TeX Gyre Termes] \setupbodyfont[mainface,10pt] \starttext ı̓tn und ı̓tn.t %Line 1 Altägyptischen %Line 2 \stoptext Note: (a) there is no problem at all with other fonts, e.g., Tex Gyre Termes (b) with the Brill font, the text fails to process when BOTH Line1 and 2 are included. The console readout is: tex error > tex error on line 1 in file /Users/bowen1/Desktop/TestTeX/fonttest.tex: ? \page ->\par \dosingleempty \page_breaks_process \strc_pagenumbers_flush_final_page ...\else \page [\p_strc_pagenumbers_page ... \dostoptext ...\strc_pagenumbers_flush_final_page \page \the \everystoptext ... l.1 \dostoptext \clf_stoptext ->\luafunction \16>>clf_stoptext l.10 \stoptext 1 >> 2 \definefontfamily[mainface][serif][Brill] %[TeX Gyre Termes] 3 4 \setupbodyfont[mainface,10pt] 5 6 7 \starttext 8 ı̓tn und ı̓tn.t 9 Altägyptischen 10 \stoptext 11 I have no idea where the problem here lies, whether it is with ConTEXt or with the Brill font. So, while a fix would be ideal, a diagnosis that I could relay to Brill would be good too. Alan

Can you try this: in line 1323 of tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/font-otj.lua: setdisc(current,pre,post.replace) replace this with setdisc(current,pre,post,replace) regenerate the format and try compiling again. I get a pdf which appears to be correct. I think this is just a small typo which Hans will fix. However, the error message I saw was different from the one you posted. This is with the latest beta and the latest version of the Brill font (2.06 51). Thomas

Thomas, Hans—many thanks! That change in the latest beta fixes the problem
nicely.
