Re: [NTG-context] compiling project files
Aditya, Sorry it took so long to get back to you. I've only just had a chance to try this now. The .tuo file for the _product_ file shows the files being loaded. Compiling the _project_ file yields no .tuo. My product file does indeed look like what you wrote.

the wiki entry is not that clear ("enclose the column in braces").
\{ is a just a grouping command (which directly gives a solution for
your second answer)
Use
[| a{\{}b{\}} |]

[NTG-context] some questions
Hallo!
After reading some manuals, I have some questions.
May be I have not understand it right.
Try the following example:
---
\setupcolors[state=start]
\starttext
How can I use the brace-key right?
\starttable[| \{ |]
\NC no braces \SR
\stoptable
What I am doing wrong here?
\starttable[ o1 | C{red} |]
\VL red \VL\SR
\stoptable
red too!
Should'nt \arg{bla} be \type{{bla}}?
\stoptext

\namedglyph is too generic; you ask for a \fontglyph\font{name} and even then,
there probably is not sucha primitive, but just a lua call which will consult
the font data so that one can also take care of missign glyphs
anyhow, such a command needs to be defined for each engine, with proper
fallbacks which is not somthing i'm gonna do as a quick hack/fix.
Now, for the moment you can use your definition which you can always (some time
in the future) map onto a context one. This way of asking for a glyph is low
level anyway.

For a real speedup, set \preloadtypescripts to true in your cont-sys.tex. It will stop context from loading the files over and over, instead loading it only once and interpreting the file completely in that one go.

[NTG-context] \namedglyph (was: [XeTeX] \XeTeXglyphindex: just a short note)
Hello,
Some time ago Jonathan implemented a new \XeTeXglyphindex command to
retrieve the glyph from current font by name (it currently only works
for OpenType, but that's the most important). \getglyph is already
taken, I used it in the example below just because I didn't think of a
better name.
Would it name sense to provide a \namedglyph macro in ConTeXt for
XeTeX users as well? (Hopefully the feature will be available in
pdfTeX as well ;)
I don't mind if LaTeX & ConTeXt use the same syntax every now and then ;)
(In the future: It might make sense to provide an optional field to
retrieve a glyph from any font, not just from the current one, but I'm
not sure about what the exact interface should be and if it would be
optional it can be added later anyway.)
Any thoughts?
