I have myself been using Shobhika with relative success for quite some time now. Due to its great conjunct support, it is a good font as well. In ConTeXt it is advisable to use it with the deva script tag. So, with features=devanagari-one Please note that it is missing some IAST glyphs ḻ (=ळ) l̥ ,are just two examples. [For roman transliteration (IAST), I have seen that the Brill font has very good glyph coverage but it does not have vedic accents IIRC.] However, there is one (minor) issue in the devanagari side of things: See here (long read): https://www.mail-archive.com/ntg-context@ntg.nl/msg99691.html TLDR: there are one set of conjuncts which don't work right-away, namely the र-based conjunct forms with the following consonant: छ, ट, ठ, ड, ढ with post- base and below-base vowel marks, namely ी, ा, ौ, ु and ू For example छ्री will not render as expected in ConTeXt (with devanagari-one). To fix this one can temporarily switch to the devanagari-two feature set as follows {\feature[=][devanagari-two] छ्री} which can be wrapped into a macro. Otherwise, all the features work well.

[NTG-context] Engine mismatch in Windows 8.1 (32 bits)
Hi everyone! I've just installed ConTeXt on an old machine running Windows 8.1 (x86) and I've noticed the format is regenerated each time I process a file.

Re: [NTG-context] Iterating over MP paths (was: Fuzzy lines)

In a private reply to my old message, Hans explained to me why this was not possible like I thought (check if the point has control points), since every point has control points. But I didn’t keep at it last fall, and the MP foo is still weak in this one, so, let’s try again: If I iterate over the points of a path like in beginfig(1); path p; p = (0,0) ..

(I want to randomize only the non-edge points.) 1. First or last point: if t=0 or t=length p. ... if the path is not closed: if not cycle p. OK 2. Would it make sense to check curl or tension?
