Hello,
on the [tex-fonts] mailing list there was a recent discussion of people putting effort into enabling proper encoding to support typesetting of Lithuanian (in LaTeX). Before they start creating and using yet another encoding (incompatible with others and not shipped with any standard TeX distribution): is there any chance to finish the companion encoding in some reasonable time?
i wonder, what characters do they need in addition to ec/texnansi/qx
Even if they keep using LaTeX, I think that the same mechanism can be used in LaTeX as the one which combined EC (T1) with TS1.
There is probably not that much left to be done. The letter part of the encoding is finished (and the Polish fonts already ship with those metric files) and quite some ideas for the companion font are already there. The major part left is to create ConTeXt support for combining two encodings, but from the past experiance with Hans that is probably a matter of not even a couple of hours.
Or should we wait for Oriental TeX first?
even with oriental tex, the old style encodings will be around for a while 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
