we're going to built that kind of logic (and a bit more) into luatex / context mkiv ; after that we can see to what extend we can support the xetex way as well
after tug 2006 we enter the font part pf the luatex/orientaltex project
OK. Sounds great. If you need a tester, I'll be more than happy to provide lots of awkward cases and sift through them.
In the meantime, is it possible to enable/disable ConTeXt's UTF-8 handler selectively for pieces of text? such as:
\starttext \enableregime[utf] - some Unicode text processed by CoNTeXt for diacritics etc. - \disableregime[utf] - some Unicode text in some other script processed natively by XeTeX - \stoptext
That would do the job in the meantime.
hm, dunno, this is related to active characters (>255) and such; currently the utf handler is disables in xetex mode 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
