Re: [NTG-context] [pdftex] Problem: testing MkIV on pdftex-t manual source

And why Martin Schr\"oder instead of Martin Schröder? The last time I wrote \"o instead of ö in a document was in 1994, just before LaTeX-2e was released. But both, LaTeX and Context, support UTF-8 now. It allows you to have text written in Vietnamese, Greek, Arabic, Chinese, Devanagari... in one and the same TeX source file.

The first version of the pdftex manual dates from 1996 or so, at a time when sending 8-bit files over the net was far from reliable. And why go back to change a definition that works (well, did work, until now)? Best wishes, Taco
