Hi Wolfgang,
Many thanks for looking into this and for locating the problem.
This matches the behaviour I observed in the Syriac fallback tests: with
|force=yes| the fallback vector was built correctly, whereas adding
|check=yes| prevented the expected Syriac fallback from being used.
I will retest the original MWE once the correction to |font-col.lmt| is
available in an updated ConTeXt distribution.
Best,
JP

Hi Hans,
While testing Semitic languages for multilingual bibliography support
(in this case Aramaic/Syriac), I came across a reproducible problem
with
`check=yes` in `\definefontfallback`.
hopefully Wolfgang can have a look at it as I'm in the middle of
something else so switching to font mode ... otherwise it has to wait
a couple of days.
I took a look at it and line 301 in font-col.lmt has to changed from
elseif not newchars[target] then
to
elseif not newchars[unic] then
Wolfgang
