wrong \sc i with Palatino Linotype

wrong \sc i with Palatino Linotype

[Pablo Rodriguez]

Dear list,

I have noticed that ConTeXt (beta from 2014.02.14 17:07) has a problem
with Palatino Linotype.

Here the sample:

\definefontfeature[capstosc][c2sc=yes]
\definefontfamily[mainface][serif][Palatino Linotype]
\setupbodyfont[mainface]
\starttext
{\addfeature[capstosc] AEIOU}

\sc aeiou
\stoptext

All vowels are fine, but the i is a dotted small cap i. The regular
small cap i is defined as i.sc (and the dotted small cap i is defined
as i.sc too). But FontForge applies both c2sc and smcp substitutions
fine.

Is there any way to solve this?

Many thanks for your help,

Pablo

It seems to be a regression as this example now produces a dot as well:

(in ConTeXt 2013.12.20 it was Ok)

Many thanks for your reply, Jan.

In ConTeXt - 2013.05.28 00:36 (which comes with TeX Live 2013), I’m
afraid that bug is there.
