I want to know if it's possible use HarfTeX/LuaHBTeX with ConTeXt (MKIV), mainly for what can be done with them (the "mode=harf" feature and Lua language features). Although this is pretty easy with LaTeX: \usepackage{harfload} \setmainfont{font}[RawFeature={mode=harf}] I have no idea of how to make it work with context. I've tried the following with a test file (a simple \starttext .. \stoptext document): context tests.tex --engine=luahbtex And this happens: mtx-context | run 1: luahbtex --fmt="/home/coragyps/.texlive2019/texmf-var/luatex-cache/context/a86c089b384a3076dc514ba966a1fac9/formats/luatex/cont-en" --jobname="tests" --lua="/home/coragyps/.texlive2019/texmf-var/luatex-cache/context/a86c089b384a3076dc514ba966a1fac9/formats/luatex/cont-en.lui" --c:currentrun=1 --c:engine="luahbtex" --c:fulljobname="./tests.tex" --c:input="./tests.tex" --c:kindofrun=1 --c:maxnofruns=9 --c:texmfbinpath="/usr/local/texlive/2019/bin/x86_64-linux" "cont-yes.mkiv" This is LuaHBTeX, Version 1.11.2 (TeX Live 2020/dev) system commands enabled. (Fatal format file error; I'm stymied)mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 256 What should I do? Thank you in advance

First of all you should rebuild the format with the new engine. context --make Then you will have to write backend code that exposes the mode=harf to the ConTeXt font loader.

unrelated to your question but this is no longer the recommended way to use harf mode in latex. After some discussion the latex team decided to build lualatex next year over luahbtex. For testing purpose lualatex-dev already now uses luahbtex. harftex has been archived and its development has stopped. The harfload code has been integrated into luaotfload. Also fontspec has been updated and offers keys to activate harf mode. So your document should look like this: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{fontspec} \setmainfont{font}[Renderer=Harfbuzz] ... This requires a current luaotfload and you should use lualatex-dev to compile it. -- Ulrike Fischer https://www.troubleshooting-tex.de/
