Hans, genial. Once you told to me “hoe krijg je het voor elkaar…”. Now I tell you, how do you get this done… the mail has not even had the time to “cool” down and you post this. I am astonished. Kind regards Willi

Hi Willi,

What fun! I think I found a couple math items to correct.

1) The second line of the tables at the top of page 2 should be: 1000' 100, 10, 1; 8000, 400, 20, 1

2) For the year conversion: 2023 = 5x20^2 + 1x20 + 3. (Your 0 should be my 1). This will give a three digit Kaktovik numeral. You have 4 digit Kaktovik numerals for 2023, with both a 0 and a 1.

Hans thank you very much for this update. Indeed now automatic conversion comes out correctly. Willi

\useMPlibrary[kaktovik] % de officiele manier

\definefontfeature [default] [default] [metapost=kaktovik]

\setupbodyfont[dejavu]

\starttext 2023 \kaktoviknumerals{5}\kaktoviknumerals{1}\kaktoviknumerals{3}

\kaktoviknumerals{2023} % deze split dus voor je, order fixed

\stoptext
