So, when I used "Latin Modern" as the font definition, Context falls back to a system defined default? Was that the reason why in that situation, Context was able to display the open box, though not able to display Malayalam?

Hi Kausika,
This is what I tried -
\definefallbackfamily [mainfont]
[rm]
[Latin Modern]
[range=controlpictures,force=yes]
\definefontfamily [mainfont]
[rm]
[RIT-Rachana]
[features=malayalam-two]
\setupbodyfont [mainfont]
\starttext
\title{മലയാളലിപികളുടെ ആവൃത്തി നിർണ്ണയം}
␣
\stoptext
This doesn't print the open box. If I remove the definefontfamily
command or define font family using only Latin Modern, open box is
printed, but not the title.
What am I missing?
Thanks,
ajith

[NTG-context] Asking context to switch to a different font for a single character in many places
Hi, I am trying to prepare a moderate sized document in Malayalam using Context. Overall I have been successful. However, there are a few rough edges for which I need help. This is the fifth problem I face. Is it possible to instruct Context to use a font in general, except for a single character? I want to show the space character with open box,␣ U+2423. However, the font doesn't have that character. The open box character shows up in many places within an otherwise Malayalam text. So, switching font is not possible. For the time being, I am using a substitution. However, I would like to know if it is possible.
