Hi Andrea,
2007/10/8, Andrea Valle
Hi to all,
we (I and Miriam, who is in CC, but she should be now on the list) are setting up our ConTeXt installation in order to (re-)typeset the academic journal we are editors. We are both on macosx: the idea is to use XeTeX. I installed on Miriam's macbook mactex, and I also have updated it from the mactex site. Exactly like mine. We're experiencing this problem: we have an utf 8 text and I'm compiling with no problem on my machine. On Miriam's one 1. if we compile with ConTeXt-pdftex (specifying the regime) we are having little black boxes near the non-ascii char (i.e. an accented glyph is rendered as non accented glyph + box) 2. if we compile with XeConTeXt the resulting pdf simply skips the accents (e.g an accented glyph is rendered non accented)
Can you send e example to the list.
More: We can't do ctxtools --updatecontext it complaint it cannot fetch the zip
you can download the zip-file from pragma-ade.nl or one of the mirrors on unzip the file in your local tex tree
Differences: 1. I am on macbook pro, she's on macbook (both on 2007 intel) 2. I'm using the English version of the macosx system, she's using the Italian one.
shouldn't be a problem Wolfgang
