Dear all,

Recently I read about the use of Harfbuzz-enhanced LuaTeX with LaTeX for writing Arabic. Following that example, I wrote a minimal test text that worked excellently for Kannada script as well:

-----
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}

\setmainfont{Kedage}[RawFeature={mode=harf;script=knda;}]

\begin{document}
ಇದು ಹೇಗಿದೆ? ನಾನು ಹೀಗೆ ತುಂಬ ಬರೆಯಬೇಕೆಂದು ಯೋಚಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದೇನೆ.
\end{document}
-----

I want to do this in ConTeXt too! Can anyone tell me how to translate “\setmainfont{Kedage}[RawFeature={mode=harf;script=knda;}]” into ConTeXt? This could be the key to using MkIV with Indic scripts.

Robert
