The version uploaded to CTAN should work fine together, I'm not sure what is the status of the luatexbase on github, but here texlive2010 every thing seems to be fine. > > So I tried to get the latest ConTeXt code, namely luatex-fonts.lua, > but I cannot find it anymore on > http://source.contextgarden.net/tex/generic/context. > > Are these problems normal (in the sense that I should have TeXLive > 2010)? Where can I get the latest luatex-fonts.lua? No idea, ask Hans. Anyway, Indic scripts are not supported (unless you are not using any Indic specific features and doing all the processing yourself using generic features). Hans can probably support Indic scripts if given a clear specification and a set of tests (last I heard Indic OT specification was a mess with MS releasing incompatible specs with every new Windows release; non of the free OT engines have a reliable Indic support.)
