Hi there,

I'm experiencing a very strange error related to unicode at the moment and I 
can't pin down the problem for the life of me…

The situation: I'm using context mkvi (2011.04.20 16:23) on Mac OS 10.6.7 (with 
the latest font patches in particular) and TeXShop 2.41. In my tex source file 
I have unicode letters with accents (like "clarín") and the file's encoding is 
set to UTF-8. It still looks like valid UTF-8 when opened with a different text 
editor, say SubEthaEdit or vim. The problem is, context compiles this to a PDF 
in which the accent is missing ("clarin").

The really strange thing happens now. I delete the offending letter and reenter 
it, in TeXShop there's *no* visual difference between before and after but the 
compiled pdf suddenly has the accent enabled again. I seem to remember that the 
missing accents issue didn't occur with a different font (Latin Modern vs. 
Minion Pro in context) for the *same* source. I'll have to check that again 
though.

Has anyone seen this before? I wanted to ask up front before I really start 
digging into the issue… I might have missed something obvious.

Many thanks,
Oliver
