Sorry for this really, really basic question but...
I have the following 3 line source file:
\starttext
\typefile{test-listing.txt}
\stoptext
The file "test-listing.txt" is UTF-8 and includes the character U+25B8 (black right-pointing small triangle) which is being dropped from the output.
The console shows:
fonts > checking > char ▸ (U+025B8) in font 'LMMono12-Regular' with id 8: missing
Which explains why the character is being dropped. What I don't understand is why is LMMono12-Regular being used? I thought I had read somewhere that TeX Gyre fonts were now the default (I'm on ConTeXt ver: 2020.11.05 23:01 LMTX) ?
If not, is there an installation level config setting to make them the default or do I need to work out the relevant \start ... \stoptypescript commands?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Bruce,
a MWE that shows your problem would be:
\setupbodyfont[cursor]
\starttext
\startTEXpage[offset=1em]
a ▸
\stopTEXpage
\stoptext

Latin Modern are the default fonts in ConTeXt.
BTW, TeX Gyre Cursor doesn’t seem to contain the character you mention.

I think the first line in the sample above shows a simple approach.
I hope it helps,
Pablo

DejaVu has the symbol and can be a option either as main font or just as
fallback (but this can break the alignment) for another font.
\setupbodyfont [dejavu]
\starttext
\rm Triangle: ▸
\ss Triangle: ▸
\tt Triangle: ▸
\stoptext
