The glyph "dcroat" was not found :( I think there is problem in
Gentium fonts with this glyph.
Yes, I saw that.
For pdfTeX's tool ttf2afm doesn't see a lot of letters in some fonts
I guess pdfTeX's code for accessing letters in TT fonts is somewhat
broken.
Or something in ConTeXt, I don't know.
E.g. if I install the Junicode fonts with texfont, the t5 table is
half empty. If I create the AFMs with FontForge, it's mostly filled,
but I get some of the glyph ... not found' warnings, i.e. it can
access some more characters, but still not all.
But *all* of the characters should be there (they *are* in the font!).
'dcroat' (striked-through d) is a typical case.
Please, any of the wizards, what can we do?

Additionally, it always writes entries for PFB files, even if there are only TTF. A known bug (at least for me), but sometimes I forget to fix that. Ok, I'm uploading the next version. 2. I don't think that files fonts.cache-1 are necessary for ConTeXt :-) You're right, but they don't hurt also ;-) I tried to config pango/fontconfig of my LilyPond installation so that it also finds TeX fonts. Until now it only writes these cache files, but never uses the fonts... At the moment I'm struggling with a font that uses different names in PFB, AFM and else. Chaos! It doesn't even provide accentes characters. I guess I'll drop it. Greetlings from Lake Constance!

Re: [NTG-context] font encodings (glyph lossed with Gentium in T5)
Sorry, I missed that update. Just downloaded it and created the files anew (now online), but no change. I guess the strike-through d should be in slot 31; probably an encoding problem. I guess I should update ConTeXt, another encoding problem in ec was fixed. It didn't help, 'dcroat' is still missing. Ok, I tracked it down: The tool that creates AFMs from TTFs, that is called by texfont, doesn't get all characters! I opened the font files with FontForge and wrote AFMs with that, now it works (same with Junicode). A new upload will follow in some minutes. Greetlings from Lake Constance!
