lower case "a" incompatible with hanging
![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/e3b872c29e07171f8cccdbd6462573f9.jpg?s=120&d=mm&r=g)
I have a font oddity to report: if I use \setupalign [hanging,hz], the lower case letter "a" disappears in a particular font. This doesn't happen with other fonts and the missing letter comes back if I remove \setupalign [hanging,hz]. If this is a bug that you would like to investigate, I would be happy to send the font privately.

Hi Michael,
Your file works here without problems with the same ConTeXt and

Hi, This was a bug in luatex: the function that copies the font information from the base font to the expanded font did not copy the last glyph at all. There is a one-character patch to trunk/source/texk/web2c/luatexdir/font/texfont.c: @@ -1094,7 +1094,7 @@ memcpy(math_param_base(k), math_param_base(f), i); } - for (i = 0; i < font_tables[f]->charinfo_count; i++) { + for (i = 0; i <= font_tables[f]->charinfo_count; i++) { ci = copy_charinfo(&font_tables[f]->charinfo[i]); font_tables[k]->charinfo[i] = *ci; } And that fixes it. The only oddness with this particular font is that the 'a' happens to be its last glyph in the ordering of the glyph implementations inside the otf file. Usually, the last of those is something odd like an alternate or a designer' logo, which is probably why nobody noticed before. Lutz Haseloff wrote:

That's weird, did you use Michaels font? Best wishes, Taco
