Ok, the difference is about 17 months in ConTeXt version, while formats are
quite fresh... Can't see the clue :-?

I admit that maps in my tl8 installation aren't cleaned up already; I have
to spend some time to make it in the way that suits me best. But the problem
I sent doesn't look to be font-dependent. Every characters are found at this
moment, so I put the problem off.

Lets consider the following code:

\setupitemize[4,packed]
\starttext
\startitemize[n]
 \item one
 \item two
 \item three
\stopitemize
\stoptext

The problem is that in newer installation, default itemize style (meaning
packed, with triangle symbol) IS FORCED instead of style given direclty
(just numbering). The older one do what I would expect; numbered style has a
priority. So after running tl8 I get three items with triangles, but after
running tl7 I get three numbered items. Why it is so? Has anything been
changed in itemizing mechanism? I will accept all changes with pleasure, but
the point is to understand what is going on :-D
