[NTG-context] Another small caps problem with some fonts (and old-style figures)
Hello again, I just discovered another weird problem with small caps when using some fonts, e.g. Adobe Jenson Pro or Adobe Garamond Pro. When old-style figures are enabled, the code below generates GEOff instead of GEOFF. Another ligature bug, it seems -- which is strange because I don't see why old-style figures should affect ligatures at all (not that I know anything about these things), and also because the second line should disable ligatures in small caps altogether. \usemodule[simplefonts] \definefontfeature[smallcaps][smallcaps][liga=no] \setfontfeature{oldstyle} \setmainfont[Adobe Jenson Pro] \starttext {\sc Geoff} \stoptext I'm using the latest beta from yesterday. Again, I'd appreciate a workaround for this, apart from disabling old-style figures. Thanks, Mika P.S. Thanks to everyone who's replied to my bibliography questions. I'll get back to it as soon as I've had time to try out the suggestions. ___ 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 : https://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___
