I have an extremely strange bug. If I use Fontin font[1] with simplefonts module and enable export and protrusion, the hyphenation symbol is gone! Below is a minimal example that illustrates this. \showframe \usemodule [simplefonts][size=10pt] \setmainfont[Fontin][expansion=quality,protrusion=quality] \setupbackend [export=yes] \setuppapersize[A7] \starttext \input ward \stoptext See the attached pdf for output. On the fifth line the word presence is hyphenated but the hyphen symbol is missing!! I am using ConTeXt 2011.08.26. [1]: http://www.exljbris.com/fontin.html Aditya
