Dear All,
during my attempts to patch the Palatino's dotless 'i' I found that this
font is parsed incorrectly by ConTeXt.
Comparing index/name info of individual glyphs in the font software and
resulting pala.tma file there is the following difference:
Index | Name - font | Name - tma
1110 | dotlessi.smcp | i.sc (1)
1170 | i.smcp | i.sc (2)
(2) - this is a composite character which consist of dotlessi.smcp and dot.
The first one should have IMHO a different name, e.g. dotlessi.sc (to keep
conventions). The same name for two glyphs might be dangerous.
the font pala.ttf has two entries i.sc and i see no reference to *.smcp
(mtxrun --script --save pala.ttf)
naming of glyphs is somewhat fuzzy and not always consistentent in fonts
but i fear there is not much we can do here (apart from using palatino
nova instead)
