Vit,

I would refer you to this thread with Thomas Schmitz on "variant encodings":
<http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2005/009057.html>

I'd call your st1 an EC variant, st2 an XL2 variant, and st3 some sort of
custom expert encoding. Ultimately names aren't *that* important, but
they can help a lot when others try to pick up and understand your work.

I don't know. In doing some math font adaptations, I haven't run into
that error message. Basically, with all the mathematics work you're
proposing, I don't have enough information to follow what you did and to help.

Were there any .enc files you created for these math fonts? How did you
install them? Math fonts generally require different metrics.

Have you looked at ThisWay #9 yet? <http://pragma-ade.com/show-mag-10.htm>
I haven't had a chance to play with them yet, but the \setups[font:
fallback:sans] look to be helpful.

I don't know.
But I presume that you're play^H^H^H^Hexperimenting with these customised
encodings because you want to use the full complement of designed
characters, right? How many of these composite characters will you be needing?

cheers,
adam
