Anyone interested in typesetting (Irish) Gaelic?

https://www.djmurphy.net/blog/clo-gaelach/

TIL: Gaelic was more readable before printing, because printers (and most typewriters) didn’t have the correct characters and accents. E.g. the many “h”s in Gaelic replaced a dot accent.

This author is using the dlig feature to replace “h accents” with proper accents and some other tricks.

Since I don’t understand Gaelic I don’t know if it would make sense to add some features/settings to ConTeXt.
