Re: [NTG-context] minimal example for Cyrillic
Some time ago this example used to work: \enableregime[utf] \usetypescript[modern-base][t2a] \setupbodyfont[modern] \starttext Немного текста. \stopbuffer This requires cm-super package. Unfortunately after some update this stopped working. If someone puts me on a right way to start debugging font loading mechanism I'll try to sort this out. Problem is that map files seem to be loaded, fonts are installed in right places but ConTeXt doesn't try to generate tfm. It just always uses default fonts (LM ones with ec encoding). I've tried varous combinations (\setupencoding, fiddling with typescripts) with no difference. Tried this on MkII, as MkIV seem to require even more tuning. Gour wrote: Hello!
