says that one should do \useXMLfilter [utf], and that I should have a look at the xtag-utf (which is input by the above command) or enco files. As far as I can see ConTeXt does not understand utf-8 encoding. Well it works with utf8 if you include xtag-utf.tex ($TEXMF/tex/context/base/xtag-utf.tex). That works for instance: \input xtag-utf.tex øãö \bye (\o,\~a,\"o)
The problem is that that file doesn't contain all > 50000 characters but only a few (basically latin1 accented characters)
Where did you find this note mentioning utf? I think it went over the mailing list (look at the mailarchive).
Some time ago I saw a post on DocBook list from Sebastian Rahtz who is considering to rewrite PassiveTex with ConTeXt support instead of LaTeX. That would be nice!
The question remains, how to do it with multi-lingual document encoded in utf-8? Any hint? See above. The problem is that a nice font would be needed to.
By the way, I'm looking for a nice looking serif font, which I can use as math font and which contains at least all MES-1, better also the MES-2 characters (http://www.evertype.com/standards/iso10646/pdf/cwa13873.pdf) and the default ligatures used by TeX. So far I mainly found either WGL4 compatible fonts (http://partners.adobe.com/asn/developer/opentype/appendices/wgl4.html) or fonts which can be used for math in TeX, but not both. (At least not within a amount of money which I can spend ;-) Tobias
