Dear all,
Is ConTeXt able of typesetting text in Insular Gaelic (Irish/Scottish)?
As I see, LaTeX, with the babel package, renders Gaelic in Latin
typography (with diacritical marks).
But there are two fonts that do the job (apart from babel and which
are in utf8 standards);
one is commercial and the other seems to do the job (see attached file).

Thank you!
I posted the example to https://fosstodon.org/
@context/115848510984504421 as an answer to the post from where I got
the blog link.
The rendering looks much better than JP’s example – I don’t know if
that’s really made with LaTeX as the PDF only says it’s converted with
GhostScript. The hinting(?) is strange – some characters are somewhat
blurry, others a bit pixely.
The document is also included in the zip archive with the font files but
unlike JP's version you can copy the text and it lists LibreOffice as
creator.
