Hi,

when I use the \digits command with default fonts, everything work fine.
However, when I set the fonts to palatino, the following documents

8<---------------------------------
\usetypescript[palatino][ec]
\definetypeface [palatino] [mm] [math]   [euler] [euler][rscale=1.03]
\setupbodyfont[palatino,12pt]

\starttext
\digits{1.234,56}
\stoptext
8<---------------------------------

Am I doing something wrong?


it's euler related, not palatino so let's redirect this to aditya


It works if you change the definition of \dohandledigits to the following

\def\dohandledigits
{\mathcode\,="003B \mathcode\.="003A % were 013B and 013A
\expandafter\handletokens\collecteddigits\with\scandigits
\ifcase\powerdigits\else\digitpowerseparator^{\savedpowerdigits}\fi}


This is because euler takes , and . from mr family (family 0) while in other fonts they come from mi (family 1).


I don't understand why the mathcode needs to be changed inside dohandledigits, do cannot figure out a way to fix the bug. One option can be to store the mathcode of , and . before we start manipulating digits, and then restore them to their original values (something like that \pushcatcodetable and \popcatcodetable).
