Although Robert should review it (to avoid the nonsense I may add to it) BTW, I wonder whether it would be possible to add hyphenation patterns for Kannada (Robert may benefit from that). It might be even worth considering adding hyphenation patterns for all Indic languages (https://github.com/hyphenation/tex-hyphen).

Dear all,
Recently I read about the use of Harfbuzz-enhanced LuaTeX with LaTeX for
writing Arabic. Following that example, I wrote a minimal test text that worked
excellently for Kannada script as well:
-
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setmainfont{Kedage}[RawFeature={mode=harf;script=knda;}]
\begin{document}
ಇದು ಹೇಗಿದೆ? ನಾನು ಹೀಗೆ ತುಂಬ ಬರೆಯಬೇಕೆಂದು ಯೋಚಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದೇನೆ.
\end{document}
-
I want to do this in ConTeXt too! Can anyone tell me how to translate
“\setmainfont{Kedage}[RawFeature={mode=harf;script=knda;}]” into ConTeXt? This
could be the key to using MkIV with Indic scripts.
%\definefontfamily [kannada] [rm] [Kedage] [features=kannada-one]
\definefontfamily [kannada] [ss] [Tunga] [features=kannada-one]
\definetypeface [kannada] [mm] [math] [modern]
\setupbodyfont [kannada]
\starttext
ಇದು ಹೇಗಿದೆ? ನಾನು ಹೀಗೆ ತುಂಬ ಬರೆಯಬೇಕೆಂದು ಯೋಚಿಸುತ್ತಿದ್ದೇನೆ.

Re: [NTG-context] Indic fonts with MkIV and
You need to use the LuaHBTeX backend which isn't actually supported by
ConTeXt (and Hans doesn't like it either, I think). There's a plugin mode,
however. If not in the mailing list, more info about Harfbuzz in ConTeXt is
available in some articles.
