ConTeXt silently drops missing glyphs and I understand the advantage of
this behavior over placing a black box (as I believe LaTeX does).
However, I would like a warning in the log file when this occurs, for a
chosen font might indeed prove to be in-adapted as incomplete (for a
particular document). Perhaps this is already the case, but for what
should I search? Is there a tracker to enable?
I have experienced the problem in typesetting a long document in trying
a different font without knowing that it "breaks" my document due to
missing glyphs. This would be a very important tool for the present the
font discussion, for a generated table of glyph overviews is one thing
but perhaps more useful would be warnings about missing glyphs in real
documents.
% shows all kind of errors at the end of a run (relative new feature,
dedicated to taco)
\enabledirectives[logs.errors]
% quite old feature
\enabletrackers[fonts.missing=replace]
% or (deleting them)
\enabletrackers[fonts.missing]
% so:
\starttext
here we \char 999 go
\stoptext
% will report errors
If you compile the latest luatex you will get a report anyway.
