latest beta hates most of my fonts

the latest beta refuses to work with most of my (Greek) fonts. I have compiled the very latest trunk (rev. 1006, I think). Difficult to make a minimal example because it doesn't happen with simple "Latin" text, only when there's Greek in the file. The error message is always similar: ) Fatal error occurred, no output PDF file produced! Does that ring a bell, or should I see if I can find a font which doesn't work in "normal" mode? The fonts are set up like this: \installfontfeature[otf][grbl] \definefontfeature [agreek] [mode=node,language=dflt,script=latn,kern=yes,tlig=yes,trep=yes, grbl=yes,featurefile=greek-babel.fea] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [name:BosporosU] [features=agreek] etc. Thomas

hard to check without a small test file; latin processes ok; keep in mind that feature files reset all other features Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Here's a "minimal example" for the start: texexec --xtx --make --all but this has already been reported and I'm not sure if it's the same problem. /context/texmf-context/tex/context/patterns/lang-agr.pat ! Nonletter. l.206 4´ ´ ? Mojca

No, that's a different problem which I created by "optimizing" the pattern files; sorry about that! Thomas

This error says that there are more glyphs marked as "used" (92) than there are actually written (85). I have temporarily disabled this test in the trunk, because it could be caused by the change in composite character handling in context. Can you try if the pdf is valid with that latest version? Best wishes, Taco

OK, with the latest version I get a valid pdf file! Some bizarre things (one letter is missing from the output), but at least I get output! THanks Thomas
