Hi to all, I'm plotting a phonetic formant chart with metapost inside context. I know I can't use TIPA, but I would be happy with utf8. So I'm encoding a utf8 file, and I can see the chars in the source. As an example I see this: ɷ But MP is complaining about not ascii characters. Even outside MP, just using ConTeXt I'm not able to see the previously mentioned char. There's no error with "œ" (I guess it's extended ascii?) but result is \dochar etc printed on resulting pdf. Is there a way to use unicode symbols with metapost? (or what else?)

If you let context typeset the labels by using \textext or, even better, \sometxt, you should be able to use all characters context knows how to use. Unfortunately, in phonetics, that is very few, because of the lacking TIPA support. Best, Taco
Hi Nicola, Taco, thanks. So now I discovered \sometxt. As far as I understood what Taco say I this way I can use On 7 Apr 2007, at 09:16, Taco Hoekwater wrote:

This means that, if my chars aren't in \showcharacters they're unavailable (am I right?). I guess that Nicola' suggestion is related to this fact. So, he uses \sometxt with XeTeX. I'll take a look to the XeTeX (and eventuall get back with questions...) Best

Hi to all,
I'm plotting a phonetic formant chart with metapost inside context. I know I can't use TIPA, but I would be happy with utf8.
I did something similar with XeTeX and ConTeXt using the \sometxt macro, e.g.: \definetypeface[myface][rm][Xserif][Charis SIL][default][encoding=uc] \starttext \startreusableMPgraphic{fig} u := 1cm; draw origin--(0,u)--(0,2u)--(0,3u); dotlabel.lft(\sometxt{Q}, origin); dotlabel.rt(\sometxt{R}, origin); dotlabel.lft(\sometxt{å
