Hi, This encoding mess ... somehow i got the feeling that we should start shipping proper tfm files, i.e. texnansi ec qx char (adam's new one) ecx (mojcs's fixed ec) I can probably convince te polish font guys and we need a similar named set (generated of copied) for the abotu 15 free fonts on tex live. There is no point is keeping in tune with old stuff and latex-needs-it-this-way-so-we-cannot-fix-it situation. It's taking too much time. (Comparable with the patterns mess, i now just ship them). In the end we can set up a project that maintains these sets.

Just letting you know that I do not have the opportunity to spend a lot of time on this, there are too many other projects craving for my attention. Cheers, Taco

I don't need any fixed ec. Ec is just fine (glyph names are to be corrected though), the problem was that the ConTeXt definitions for it were wrong (one of the wrong seven names for dstroke, dmacron, was mapped to the glyph, while dstroke remained undefined, but if you applied the patch, it should work OK again). If I would add something, this would be the support for xl2 encoding, which is really useful for Central European languages (100% compatible with Latin2 encoding; il2 is something extremely similar, but there are at least two glyphs from latin2 regime missing in it - exactly the ones that I need).

I have absolutely no knowledge in this area yet (I've always hated fonts in [whatever]TeX), but I love the idea. ConTeXt would grow because of it, but if there's no other way to ask for changes ... it's probably only a matter of time when people will switch from LaTeX to ConTeXt if LaTeX will continue to be developed so effectively (MikTeX hasn't been updated for two months now, grrr ...).

Hi,
char (adam's new one)
did I miss that one? (Well, the obvious answer is 'yes', but when and where and how?) Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki and more: http://contextgarden.net

Hi, [dense encoding]

OK, thanks Hans and Adam, I've got it now. Sometimes I should actually *read* my mails... Patrick -- ConTeXt wiki and more: http://contextgarden.net
