Hi, list! I've tested the Harfbuzz plugin in ConTeXt and it works nicely for most cases. However, color doesn't seem to work. Is this intended? I know this plugin won't be supported, but I'll be fine with pointers to solve this issue. Thanks in advance. \usemodule[fonts-plugins] \definefontfeature[harf] [mode=plug, features=harfbuzz, shaper=native] %Just to test Harfbuzz is actually working \definefontfeature[devaA][harf] [language=dflt, script=deva] \definefontfeature[devaB][default] [script=deva] \definefontfeature[colored][harf] [language=dflt,script=arab, colr=yes] %doesn't do anything \startbuffer[hindi] %From a Wikipedia page हिन्दी भाषा का इतिहास लगभग एक सहस्र वर्ष पुराना माना गया है। हिन्दी भाषा व साहित्य के जानकार अपभ्रंश की अन्तिम अवस्था 'अवहट्ठ से हिन्दी का उद्भव स्वीकार करते हैं। चन्द्रधर शर्मा 'गुलेरी' ने इसी अवहट्ठ को 'पुरानी हिन्दी' नाम दिया। अपभ्रंश की समाप्ति और आधुनिक भारतीय भाषाओं के जन्मकाल के समय को संक्रान्तिकाल कहा जा सकता है। हिन्दी का स्वरूप शौरसेनी और अर्धमागधी अपभ्रंशों से विकसित हुआ है। 1000 ई॰ के आसपास इसकी स्वतन्त्र सत्ता का परिचय मिलने लगा था, जब अपभ्रंश भाषाएँ साहित्यिक सन्दर्भों में प्रयोग में आ रही थीं। यही भाषाएँ बाद में विकसित होकर आधुनिक भारतीय आर्य भाषाओं के रूप में अभिहित हुईं। अपभ्रंश का जो भी कथ्य रूप था - वही आधुनिक बोलियों में विकसित हुआ। \stopbuffer \starttext {\righttoleft\definedfont[file:AmiriQuranColored.ttf*colored]\input{khatt-ar}} {\definedfont[file:Lohit-Devanagari.ttf*devaA]\getbuffer[hindi]} \blank[line] {\definedfont[file:Lohit-Devanagari.ttf*devaB]\getbuffer[hindi]} \stoptext

Wouldn't you also have to enable the colored feature somewhere?
