Re: [NTG-context] German ß

Hello, I tried following things: 1. \enableregime[win] äöü is working; ß is shown as SS 2. \enableregime \[il1] öäü and ß comes wrong 3. \enableregime[win] \definecharacter ssharp 255 äöü is working; ß is shown as SS \ssharp results in ß 4. \enableregime[il1] \definecharacter ssharp 255 äöü are wrong; ß is shown as ß 5. and completely strage: using \ss in the text changes from there on to the font LMSans12! And there ß and öäü is working. I really have to state that I don't understand the font font handling completely but I think some things changed here in the last time. I hope that anybody can give me a hint how to use fonts (especially that ones from the latex-hfbright package) Wolfgang Mojca Miklavec schrieb:

Hello,

i have some problems with an selfcreated typescriptfile. Until one of the last context-updates everythin works fine. The font I use is from the hfbright package (the hfbright package is a free version of the cmbright font) but when I created that typescript I did't relalize that a full font package was available and I renamed the fonts (therefore I will not provide that ugly typescript file here). I don't know what has changed but the german ß is not working any more. I use as font encoding ec and as regime win.

I'm a bit confused where exactly my problem lies: either the encoding is wrong, but I do't know which one is right because in the latex package hfbright the encoding is called OT1. Has anyone an idea how to fix this problem or can anyone help me to set up a context module like the hfbright-module?

Many thanks

Wolfgang

Out of curiosity: what happens if you add the following line somewhere after the definition of encoding and after font switching?

\definecharacter ssharp 25

Also try to test a word like "bi\ssharp chen" (this should prevent problems with input regime).

If this works, it's necessary to add support for OT1 (if this is not already default), see http://source.contextgarden.net/enco-ec.tex for example.

Ec is not supposed to work properly (in LaTeX it's known under the name T1), texnansi also has other character positions, but ssharp could work there.
