Both types of outlines are mutually exclusive and are contained in different tables of the font file (respectively, 'CFF' and 'glyf'). This is indeed a widespread convention (including FontForge's), but this font doesn't follow it, since it has TrueType outlines and an .otf extension; hence the error message (ConTeXt is looking for a CFF table and can't find it, since there is a glyf table instead). When you edited the font in Fontforge and exported it as UnicodeSymbols.otf, it was converted to a CFF-based OpenType font, so ConTeXt could use it. I consider this a bug in Mark IV (I think the problem is really in ConTeXt, not LuaTeX). It should be able to use the original font, even if this extension thing is annoying. > And How can I quicky access symbols like U+25c9 ? One would think you knew that, Luigi! Just use ^^^^25c9, for example.
