Answering myself: I ended up using c\kern-7pt\hbox to 0pt{\textcaron\hss}\kern7pt but it would be nice to add some options to allow fixing fonts on a slightly more user-friendly level. And what do you expect the user interface to look like? You're going to need to add information in

[NTG-context] OT: What reference management software do you use?

2011-05-21 Thread Paul Menzel
Dear ConTeXt folks, using ConTeXt and not LaTeX you maybe also use a nice reference management software the main stream does not know about. But probably it is not related to ConTeXt at all since it is BibTeX in the end. I found a comparison in Wikipedia [1] and consider to use JabRef.

[NTG-context] Behaviour of definereferenceformat changed?

Can it be that in the beta version 2011.05.01, the behaviour of \definereferenceformat changed? I used to define: \definereferenceformat [ineqn] [left=(,right=),text=equation] and get e.g. equation (1), but now all it produces (equation 1). Is it supposed to behave that way? Do I have to use

Sorry, I was in error while referring to the font sizes. The actual limit below which typescripted fonts stop working is 12pt and it is not tied to the \setupbodyfont setting. Any font output with 12pt or less will be formatted as Latin Modern. i.e. \switchtotypeface[Pompadour][ss,12pt]
