Thanks a lot.

But this needs to be done by Marius (or someone else). Before anyone
asks: l7x that needs to be used by Lithuanian in MKII is not supported
in ConTeXt yet, so maybe the sensible setting in lang-bal.tex would
be:
\installlanguage
[\s!lt]
[...
\s!mapping=, % the correct setting is l7x for both
\s!encoding=]
if that means that the patterns will be loaded in xetex/luatex and not
in pdftex at all. Alternatively we could add support. Latin Modern and
TeX Gyre both support it (added in 2007 to LM and fixed in 2009 for
TG; I thought that l7x was missing in most fonts).
