Well, as you mention "base mode": This reminded me that I had to force base mode to get my reencoding to work in latex. So I tried in context + latex/luaotfload (with german hyphenation patterns): \font\test="name:TeX Gyre Bonum:mode=base:featurefile=bonum.fea;+kern" and \font\test="name:TeX Gyre Bonum:mode=node:featurefile=bonum.fea;+kern" And bingo: with mode=base it works in both formats, with mode=node the kern disappears. Without mode declaration the kern disappears in latex. So I think it isn't true that the manual of luaotfload claims "By default mode=base is used". -- Ulrike Fischer ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________
