[NTG-context] Indic fonts with MkIV and

[Jairo A. del Rio]

You need to use the LuaHBTeX backend which isn't actually supported by
ConTeXt (and Hans doesn't like it either, I think). There's a plugin mode,
however. If not in the mailing list, more info about Harfbuzz in ConTeXt is
available in some articles.

Regards,

Jairo
