Hello, I have problem. Suppose having t-TypeF.ctx which is to print itself: --- \enableregime[cp1250] \starttext ABC ŽŠČ \typefile[]{t-TypeF.ctx} \stoptext --- The letters "ŽŠČ" to be printed during \typefile are the problem. I get a long error message, where the key message is: l.9 \typefile[]{t-TypeF.ctx} ! String contains an invalid utf-8 sequence. system > error on line 73 in file t-TypeF.ctx: String contains an invalid utf-8 sequence ... l.73 ´┐Ż The file is created with CP 1250 = Windows, Eastern Europe, Czech Republic. So how do I make ctx accept also Czech letters with diacritics like "ŽŠČ"? - I also looked to wiki to \setuptyping, but it doesn't seem to there would be a command which could change this.

The letters "ŽŠČ" to be printed during \typefile are the problem.

Hello, It seems, that \typefile assumes utf8 independently of the \enableregime. I would suggest to configure your environment (editor and so on) to use only utf8. Cheers, Peter -- Contact information: http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

It's a problem as the file which is \typefiled is generated by another program and I have no control of which characters or which encoding it uses. All runs programs run under Windows and all [mentioned] are using CP 1250. Lukas

Perhaps with a filter: windows-program | recode windows-1250..u8 >output-file Cheers, Peter -- Contact information: http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

it's not that complex to support an regime option for \typefile but I need an example file then Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | voip: 087 875 68 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

There is one attached - "t-TypeF.mkiv" - it contains all Czech letters with diacritics. You can see also all letters with diacritics in Czech - "Cz.txt" (CP 1250) and their "translation" to UTF8 - "Cz-UTF8.txt". Cheers, Lukas

Hello, I just downloaded the last beta and it seems there is (again) a problem with \typefile a file with diacritics. Samples are attached. Best regards, Lukas On Tue, 12 Oct 2010 17:15:06 +0200, Hans Hagen wrote:

Save your file in utf-8 encoding, my editor shows me your t.txt is currently encoded as “ISO 8859-7”. You need also another typewriter font because Latin Modern Typewriter doesn’t contain lowercase greek letters. Wolfgang

... Yes, that's a possibility. But as I can remember, this was fixed and there was no requirement for the file to be UTF-8 encoded (see http://www.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2010/053222.html). The file I want to typeset is generated by another program, which uses diacritics (single bytes), CP1250.

This wouldn't be a problem, greek letters are not included. Lukas

And how should ConTeXt know that your file is in another encoding, in the example you referred there was \enableregime[cp1250] at the begin of the document but not in the document you now sent. Wolfgang

Hello, sorry, my silly fault. The main problem was to use \setuptyping instead of \definetyping. When I was trying to create an as-small-as-possible example, I forgot to insert \enableregime[1250] to the header, so I encountered additional error messages. Sorry again for wasting your (and all readers') time. Lukas On Thu, 13 Jan 2011 12:18:12 +0100, Wolfgang Schuster wrote:
