Adding ccmp=yes to the font feature seems to fix this by replacing the problematic combinations with ligatures.

[NTG-context] More chemic module woes
Hey list, I am running ConTeXt version 2011.06.17 16:50 pulled from Adam's PPA.

I compiled the same code, but bracketed with \startstoptext and my generated PDF contains literally the following: 2H 2,+,O 2,–>,2H 2O Something's not right. Any ideas?

I'm afraid I can't help directly with the Table module you're using, but you may want to consider using one of ConTeXt's newer table modules: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Tables_Overview lists the Table module as ‘deprecated’. I tend to use ‘natural tables’ ( http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TABLE ) for most things -- they're full-featured and well documented. There is also Tabulate -- fewer features and less documentation, but easier for quick jobs: \starttext \starttabulate[|l|p(5cm)|] \NC short \NC \raggedright A rather lengthier piece of text which will require more than one line when typeset within a narrow table column \NC\NR \stoptabulate \stoptext Hope this helps, Pont ___ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
