german Umlaut 'ß'
by Goebel, Juergen 09 Sep '08

09 Sep '08

Hi, My next problem seems to be the german umlaut 'ß'. Running the following example delivers only six of the seven wanted characters, while the 'ß' is left blank. I'm not sure whether this might be a problem with my editor WinEdt, but I'm sure you can show me the right direction. Regards, Jürgen % language=de tex=pdfetex output=pdftex \usetypescript[modern] \mainlanguage[de] \enableregime[utf] \setupencoding[texnansi] \starttext äöüß ÄÖÜ \stoptext

\language[de] ?

08 Sep '08

Hi, Doing my first steps with ConTeXt (after about ten years experience with LaTeX) I was running into the following problem. Running the enclosed example I got still the english version (as can be seen in the 'Contents'-title of the TOC). % language=de tex=pdfetex output=pdftex \language[de] \starttext \completecontent Test äöü \stoptext I'm using ConTeXt version 2003.9.25 (fmt 2004.8.31) - rather old, I know, but I don't believe that this might be the source of my problem since the manual is older ... Regards, Jürgen

Greek letters in math with XeTeX
by Flavien Lambert 08 Sep '08

08 Sep '08

(Sorry for the preceding message, I forgot the [NTG-context] for filters...) Dear all, I try to use Open Type fonts with ConTeXt and XeTeX (I recently did the same with LaTeX using fontspec and mathspec packages). From the web site, I managed to use them for standard text as well as roman alphabet in math. Unfortunately, greek letters stay printed with the Latin Modern font. >From examples of the web site, I tried the following lines but without success. In a preceding post, there was a similar question but with the luatex engine. Thanks for your help ! \definetypeface[myface][rm][Xserif][GFS Didot] \definetypeface[myface][mm][math][GFS Didot] \starttext Normal text. \startformula \alpha + \beta = 10 \stopformula \stoptext -- Flavien. ---------------------------- "Quantum objects are completely crazy but, at least, they are all crazy in the same way."
