May I bump? The following code used to work, but now it gives an error:
\usemodule[simplefonts] \definefontfeature[hebrew][default][mode=node,script=hebr,language=dflt,mark=yes,ccmp=yes] \setmainfont[Ezra SIL SR][features=hebrew] \setupdirections[bidi=on] \starttext בְרֵאשִ֖ית בָרָ֣א אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֵ֥ת הַשָמַ֖יִם וְאֵ֥ת הָאָֽרֶץ \stoptext The following variant (without "script=hebr") compiles but the vowels are misplaced (not centered below the letters), which "ccmp=yes" (see http://www.microsoft.com/typography/otspec/features_ae.htm#ccmp) is supposed to request: \usemodule[simplefonts] \definefontfeature[hebrew][default][mode=node,language=dflt,mark=yes,ccmp=yes] \setmainfont[Ezra SIL SR][features=hebrew] \setupdirections[bidi=on] \starttext בְרֵאשִ֖ית בָרָ֣א אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֵ֥ת הַשָמַ֖יִם וְאֵ֥ת הָאָֽרֶץ \stoptext The problem in definefontfeature seems to be that the feature "ccmp=yes" is not taking effect, and the feature "script=hebr" generates an error. Thank you very much for your advice. Michael On Thu, May 1, 2014 at 1:28 AM, Michael Ash <m...@econs.umass.edu> wrote: > This seems to have broken in my latest upgrade.
