Hi all,
usually, if one writes -- or ---, will receive real en-dash or em-dash,
respectively. I just tried font called JohnBaskerville
(commercial; from Štorm type foundry, CZ) but I got only '--' and '---',
ie. sequences were not transformed to the proper characters.
Dashes are present in then font, commands \endash and \emdash produce them correctly.
What could be wrong?
Best wishes,
Tomáš

Hi Hans,
you are right, tlig is the missing one. Thank you for directing me.
Does it mean that all features are disabled when the new "non-TeX" font is joined?
(I used \starttypescript with \definefontsynonym; then \definetypeface and \setupbodyfont.)
Later I discovered [features=default] (at \definefontsynonym) which enables it, too.
Which features are enabled by this word default?
Side effect of my experimets was the syntantic error "! Missing \endcsname inserted"
at \definefontsynonym [Serif][name:JohnBaskerville][] with empty last brackets.
Is it ok, or not?
Best wishes,
Tomáš

features are bound to a font instance

\usemodule[fonts-features]
\starttext
\showfeatureset[name=default]
\stoptext
