The format generation log might help, but if not than my guess would be: delete all context-related stuff from your harddisk and re-install. This does not really explain the missing ligs though. Another thing that might help is a very small input file + log + dvi: \setupbodyfont[ber,ppl]\useencoding[win]{\tracingall"s---ß? finally?}\bye (please send all that junk directly to me, not to the list) Greetings and good luck, Taco >>>>> "Matthew" == Matthew Baker writes: Matthew> Hi Taco, Hans, everyone, Matthew> Still no success with either ligatures or sharp s's.
