I want to insert the string 8 1/2 x 11 in my text. Here is my test file: ---------------------------- \starttext \math{8^1_2} × 11 inch, \stoptext ---------------------------- I am using texlive 2014 mkiv.
I also tried this: ----------------------- \starttext 8 1/2 × 11 inch, \stoptext --------------------- The error message is the same: ------------------------------- system > tex > error on line 2 in file /usr/local/active/hall/ftp/test.tex: String contains an invalid utf-8 sequence ... 1 \starttext 2 >> 8 1/2 × 11 inch, 3 \stoptext 4 5 ---------------------------------------- -- John Culleton Wexford Press Book layout, typesetting and Indexing Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html
