Subject: [NTG-context] decomposed u umlaut

Ahoi,
I’ve one annoying problem with ConTeXt: all üs (small u umlauts) seem
to be encoded as decomposed unicode or something like that, at least
every ü breaks into u + garbage if I copy some text from a ConTeXt PDF
to an app that doesn’t really support Unicode.
All other characters within Latin-1, including umlauts, are no
problem, that’s why I think the problem might be in ConTeXt’s font
handling.
it depends on
(1) what the font does, some fonts decompose and overlay base and mark
and some fonts don't have the right unicodes with the marks so then
you're toast
(2) only a few viewers support proper cut/paste (i only trust acrobat in
that although mupdf based viewers seem to be ok too)
(Actually, this is about my invoice addresses that I copy from PDF to
the German Post postage webshop. The site is quite new and I can’t
understand how a big company can buy such crappy software. I already
complained, there are more problems, but of course got only a template
answer.)
Greetlings, Hraban
