I tried to test it with the code below, but then it selects the stixtwomath
glyphs. So possibly the force override is used only if the font has the glyph,
instead of giving an error.
\definefallbackfamily [mainface] [math] [stix]
[range={00B2-00B3,00B9,02070-0208F},force=yes]
\definefontfamily [mainface] [math] [stixtwomath]

Perhaps the stuff that the PDF displays may not need to be what one copies, that is, it displays something that looks good, but when coping as plain text, one gets something that is useful. That is possible for HTML URLs, even though it is a security hazard for such links. ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://context.aanhet.net archive : https://bitbucket.org/phg/context-mirror/commits/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___

Re: [NTG-context] Typing unicode
Hi,
try this: \getglyph{name:TeXGyreHeros-Regular}{\char2013} % your font should
have the glyph!
If you are in linux and your editor is UTF8 capable, try pressing keys
shift+ctrl+u and then type 2013.
This should work when using luatex.
