Meanwhile I don't think that the magic string # encoding: ASCII-8BIT solves the problem. This string indicates that the script is written in ASCII-8BIT, but when is reading the strings from the .tex or .tui files ruby 1.9.1 considers them as US-ASCII regardless of the encoding declared in # encoding: ...
not when opened as 'rb' (which i do in the latest texexec.rb) so i wonder why that does not work at your place (http://blog.nuclearsquid.com/writings/ruby-1-9-encodings) i run ruby 1.8.6 (and on a couple of servers even older versions and i'm not going to touch ruby on these machines (i don't want to patch scripts that are supposed to run another 5-10 years) but i might update context and texexec)
I introduced " # encoding: ASCII-8BIT " in texmfstart.rb, tex.rb and texutil.rb and the problem didn't disapeer :-(
hm, it worked here
Of course I may be wrong. But the experiments I did make me think this way. Also, I don't have Linux at my disposal (I mean, with context installed) and there the behavior perhaps is different...
that's my biggest fear ... introducing more problems Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------
