UTF-8 and Sigma

UTF-8 and Sigma

[Tobias Burnus]

Hello,

using

\enableregime[utf]
\starttext
Σ, σ or ς?
\stoptext

with pdftex prints "Σ, σ or σ?" (but the latter should be a \varsigma
and not a \sigma). And with LuaTeX the result is even "Σ, or ?", i.e.
the small sigmas disappear completely.

Can this be fixed, even though the proper way would be to use a
different font?

Tobias

If you try this in math mode, pdftex displays the same bug, but with 
luatex, \varsigma comes out correctly. I do not know why  ς does not work 
in text mode in luatex.

Missing character: There is no σ (963) in font
/opt/luatex/minimals-beta/tex/texmf/fonts/opentype/public/lm/lmroman12-regular.otf!
Missing character: There is no ς (962) in font
/opt/luatex/minimals-beta/tex/texmf/fonts/opentype/public/lm/lmroman12-regular.otf!

So , not really a problem .
