Hi Julin !
At first glance, it appears that the font declared and the font used are
not the same. This is why, during compilation, ConTeXt falls back on
LatinModern and prints the numbers in Roman.
As Wolfgang rightly points out, it would be necessary to identify
precisely which system font actually allows Japanese to be rendered. The
following commands must therefore be executed:
mtxrun --script fonts --list --pattern=“Noto”
mtxrun --script fonts --list --pattern=“JP”
mtxrun --script fonts --list --pattern=‘CJK’
and definitely install a “real” font that renders kana and nihongo mode
properly (try ipaexmincho). And try this :
\definefontfamily[jp][rm][IPAexMincho]
\setupbodyfont[jp]
\setscript[nihongo]
\starttext
これはIPAex明朝体による日本語のテストです。
\stoptext
Or, if it fails, try this code :
% 1) Fallback first
\definefallbackfamily[main][rm][ipaexmincho]
[preset=range:japanese,force=yes]
% 2) Main family follows
\definefontfamily[main][rm][TeX Gyre Pagella]
\setupbodyfont[main,10pt]
\mainlanguage[en]
\setscript[nihongo]
\starttext
This is English text.
これはIPAex明朝体による日本語です。
\stoptext
Hope this helps.

I am new to ConTeXt (but comfortable with LaTeX) and was trying to
figure out how to have letters of different scripts in the same
document.
I tried to have a Japanese only document using the snippet in this thread
https://mailman.ntg.nl/archives/list/[email protected]/message/QCXFTDHLPDS3P67GXLI33IPG5DJNGI32/
Like this:
```
\definefontfamily [noto-jp] [rm] [Noto Serif CJK JP]
\definefontfamily [noto-jp] [ss] [Noto Sans CJK JP]
\definetypeface [noto-jp] [mm] [math] [pagella] [default]
\setupbodyfont [noto-jp]
\mainlanguage [ja]
\setscript [nihongo]

I got all the fonts available in my computer, but the generated pdf contains
only the Latin part. Just few numbers: 873684694.
I don't know what I am doing incorrectly here.
Would anyone be able to help me out?
I eventually want to make a document which has multiple scripts in it
with English as main language.
I tried skipping some of the pdfs at
https://wiki.contextgarden.net/Documentation, but am not sure if I
missed the relevant section.
Thanks.
