Hi all,
Is it possible to set a fallback font from which glyphs will be taken
if the current font doesn't have it? For example, I'd want to use
fancy miscellaneous symbols from the Symbola font using their unicode
codepoint without any extra font-changing command (and obviously, I
don't want to use Symbola for the rest of the text).
Alternatively, setting different fonts for different unicode blocks
would also do the trick.
Vianney

This works fine, thanks.
However, instead of redefining the typescripts, is it possible to set
a global fallback for all fonts, like we can do for font features?
E.g.
\definefontfeature[default][default][fallbacks=whatever]
to be able to reuse existing typescripts.

\usemodule[simplefonts]
\setmainfontfallback[Symbola][range=0x0001-0xFFFF,force=no]
\setmainfont[TeX Gyre Pagella]
\starttext
Palatino ❡
\stoptext
You can control the replacement of the main font with the “check”
and “force” keys (requires the latest version of the module i uploaded
a few minutes ago), Hans described their function in context’s source:
% check : only replace when present in replacement font (default: no)
% force : force replacent even when basefont has glyph (default: yes)
