Hi everybody,

I have an almost finished report inside which I need to typeset some russian words. I am using ConTeXt Standalone current (2011.05.18 18:04 MKII). Reading the wiki, it seems that there are no more fonts with cyrillic glyphs in this distribution. So I switched to XeTeX in order to use my system fonts. Unfortunately I stumbled into a problem when combining my fr settings with a font switching command.

Here is a minimal example. 

\mainlanguage[fr]
\useencoding[ffr]

\definefontsynonym[CyrF][name:Lucida Grande]
\definefont[Russian][CyrF sa 1]

\starttext
Quelques caractères cyrilliques
{\Russian Мама и Папа} et on
continue tranquillement.
\stoptext

If I delete either line \mainlanguage[fr] or \useencoding[ffr] everything works fine (for the font switching, but obviously not for the other part of my report :-).

Below is the output when I try to compile the above example with "texexec --xtx". Could someone tell me if I am doing something wrong.

Thanks.
