that's a sad story: just before tl 2003 came out, we found out that 8 bit was kind of gone from tex (at least no 8 bit to written files, which renders e.g. verbatim and tocs and such useless, esp since context normaly does *not* expand toc entries); this was fixed by applying cp8bit by default but i added it to the ini file to be sure for older versions of pdftex some time ago, we foun dout that the cp8bit vector is incomplete (lower part missing) so thi sis why recent context distributions have natural.tcx i still have to check the latest tl binaries (just got them) but they should default to pure 8 bit without loading the tcx file 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------
