Greek diacriticals (combining perispomenon displaced)

​There is an oddity in processing Greek. The combining diacritical
perispomenon is not positioned properly, though it appears as it should in
the source file. This diacritical is placed properly if one inserts the
appropriate character directly.

The PDF file produced by this sample shows the problem as it appears using
two different Greek fonts. The first entries in each line are incorrect.

\definefontfamily[mainface][serif][IFAO Grec Unicode]
\setupbodyfont[mainface, 24pt]

\definefont[HellenicaCU][file:HellenicaCU.ttf at 24pt]

\starttext
αῖ %combining diacritical
αῖ %char 1FD6

\HellenicaCU{
αῖ %combining diacritical
αῖ %char 1FD6
}
\stoptext

As I review my files, I see that this is a fairly recent problem, though I
cannot say exactly when it first occurred.

The other combining diacriticals process as they should.

looks ok here ... assuming i have the right font

you can try to wipe the font cache (otf and otl)

I can't test with HellenicaCU as I don't have the font, but I can 
confirm that output is good here with the IFAOGrec font, the combining 
circumflex is where it belongs. (most recent beta)

Thanks, Hans and Thomas.

The problem is at my end. I have done more testing and suspect that the the
culprit is the Greek keyboard that I am using. I have a few other keyboards
(which I like much less) and there is no problem with them. (Deleting
caches and so on had no impact.)
