Yes, I saw that.
For pdfTeX's tool ttf2afm doesn't see a lot of letters in some fonts  
I guess pdfTeX's code for accessing letters in TT fonts is somewhat  
broken.
Or something in ConTeXt, I don't know.

E.g. if I install the Junicode fonts with texfont, the t5 table is  
half empty. If I create the AFMs with FontForge, it's mostly filled,  
but I get some of the glyph ... not found' warnings, i.e. it can  
access some more characters, but still not all.
But *all* of the characters should be there (they *are* in the font!).
'dcroat' (striked-through d) is a typical case.

Please, any of the wizards, what can we do?
