Finally I found the time to do some extended testing on this and it seems
that for my use-case the LMTX version 2021-06-09 behaves as I would expect:
Hyphens are now extracted as hyphens.

Thanks a lot for your implementation, Hans!

Cheers,

Hi,

The output PDF is correctly generated with recent versions of ConTeXt

which contains:

I would like to change the ToUnicode information to an ordinary

I have tried with a goodies file, and an updated MWE:

    comment = "",

    copyright = "",

\definetypeface[Body][tt][mono][consolas][default]
\setupbodyfont[Body, ss, 10pt]

\starttext
\tt -
\stoptext
--- 8< --

Unfortunately, this has no effect.

Please tell me how to correctly update ToUnicode information with a 
goodies file.
It is (as awlways with fonts) more complex than that (1) because 
different unicode slots share the same shape and (2) we have some 
(already) old hyphen patching code for messy fonts (which is kind of bad 
anyway).


We actually want all these hyphens to have the right tounicode even if 
they share shapes (i already had some comment about looking into that 
but never ran into a font that needed it).


So, after some experimenting i decided to solve that in a different way 
(lmtx only because there i have more control) ... i need to run some 
checks and then do an upload so that you can test (also other files if 
possible).

[NTG-context] Modify ToUnicode with Goodies

2021-06-03 Thread Christoph Reller 
Hi,

On Windows, we have the consola font. Consider the MWE:

\starttext
\definedfont[name:consola*default at 12 pt]
-
\stoptext

The output PDF is correctly generated with recent versions of ConTeXt LMTX.
The hyphen is, however, mapped to a soft hyphen
 by means of the ToUnicode table which
contains:
beginbfchar
<015E> <00AD>
endbfchar

Consequently, when copying the text from the PDF and pasting in an editor
or a console, the soft hyphen is pasted.

I would like to change the ToUnicode information to an ordinary hyphen-minus
:
beginbfchar
<015E> <002D>
endbfchar

I have tried with a goodies file, and an updated MWE:

--- 8< --
return {
   name = "consola",
   version = "1.00",
   comment = "",
   author = "",
   copyright = "",
   remapping = {
  tounicode = true,
  unicodes = {
 hyphen = 0x002D,
  },
   },
}
--- 8< --
\definefontfeature[consola][mode=base, goodies=consola, unicoding=yes]
\starttypescript[mono][consolas]
  \definefontsynonym[ConsolasRegular][file:consola][features=consola]

\starttypescript[mono][consolas]
  \definefontsynonym[Mono][ConsolasRegular]
\stoptypescript
\definetypeface[Body][tt][mono][consolas][default]
\setupbodyfont[Body, ss, 10pt]

\starttext

\stoptext

Unfortunately, this has no effect.

Please tell me how to correctly update ToUnicode information with a goodies
file.
