Hi,
Daniel Flipo
\starttyping ... \stoptyping works fine, but \type{} typsets a "single dash" instead of two dashes. The "single dash" is also different (lower and shorter) than the two dashes.
You should make a bug report and send it to Hans. IMO the \type should try hard to avoid ligatures (I have no clue how this could be done, but since Hans did this for \starttyping...\stoptyping, there is a chance that this might go into \type, too). One could argue that there should be no ligatures in a tt (or better: monospaced) font. But this is a point where the opinion of the experts is not clear. See the thread "bug or feature? aer font problems": http://search.gmane.org/search.php?query=bug+or+feature%3F+aer+font+problems&email=&group=gmane.comp.tex.context&sort=date and the follow up at http://www.tug.org/mail-archives/fontinst/2001/000763.html Patrick -- Silent is the goldfish in its bowl
