Re: [NTG-context] Re: Russian

Hello Albrecht, Hm, I got no idea but to upgrade your context distribution. From the wiki page it seems I tested it on a context from 27th or 30th of january this year, and yours seems to be from th 28th. Sorry for being of no great help... /Micke P On 4/14/05, Albrecht Kauffmann wrote:

Dear Mikael,

thank you very much for your interest. tfm-files I have generated, and the tex-file is really saved in utf-8-encoding (I proved this with yudit). After editing the lines

\starttypescript [map] [computer-modern] [t2a] \loadmapfile[cm-super-t2a.map] \stoptypescript

in type-map.tex, the interpreter finds the font sfrm1000; but the characters are wrong. I send you the log- and pdf-file attached.

Thanks again Albrecht

Hi all,

I've tried to typeset in Russian with utf-8 fonts, like explained at contextgarden.net/Russian. cm-super-fonts are installed, included tfm-, enc- and map-files. Running the example

\enableregime[utf] \useencoding[cyr]

\definetypeface [russian] [rm] [serif] [computer-modern] [default] [encoding=t2a]

\setupbodyfont[russian] \starttext ???? ? ???? % Some Russian characters \stoptext

I got error messages (see the attached logfile): the font larm1000 was not found.

Have I to edit some lines in type-map.tex? Or what could be wrong?

If I add to type-map.tex: \starttypescript [map] [computer-modern] [t2a] \loadmapfile[cm-super-t2a.map] \stoptypescript

I get russian fonts, but these are not the right ones.

I would be very glad, if anyone could help me to solve the problem.

Thanks Albrecht

Hello Albrecht,

Are you sure that you have saved your file in the utf-8 encoding and not in koi8r or something? The problem of getting the wrong characters can come from that. Moreover, the example:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \enableregime[utf] \useencoding[cyr]

\definetypeface [russian] [rm] [serif] [computer-modern] [default] [encoding=t2a]

\setupbodyfont[russian] \starttext ???? ? ???? % Some Russian characters \stoptext %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

from the wiki page works here. (Ok, since I wrote the page it would be kind of weird if it did not). Have you generated the tmf files?

Have anyone else tried if it works for them?

Regards, Micke P
