Overall I have been successful. However, there are a few rough edges for which I need help. This is the fifth problem I face. Is it possible to instruct Context to use a font in general, except for a single character? I want to show the space character with open box,␣ U+2423. However, the font doesn't have that character. The open box character shows up in many places within an otherwise Malayalam text. So, switching font is not possible. For the time being, I am using a substitution. However, I would like to know if it is possible. Thanks, ajith ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 8+ messages in thread

Try with the following: \definefallbackfamily [malayalam] [serif] [TeX Gyre Pagella][range=controlpictures,force=yes] \definefontfamily [malayalam] [serif] [RIT Rachana][features=malayalam-two] \setupbodyfont[malayalam] I have tested that this works on my system.

You used "Latin Modern" which isn't a valid font name, the correct name is "Latin Modern Roman".

So, when I used "Latin Modern" as the font definition, Context falls back to a system defined default? Was that the reason why in that situation, Context was able to display the open box, though not able to display Malayalam?
