It surely depends on the fonts you use. Default is cmr, which has, as far as I know, only 7bit encoding. So \char167 will lead to nothing. Switch to another font. Patrick -- Es wird kein Wunder geschehen

Gonçalo, "Extended ASCII" is relatively uninformative without some information on which encoding you're actually using (ASCII is normative from 0-127). I'll guess you mean '§' (Section mark), which, judging from regi-win and regi-il1, is my guess for the character you mean. (On the mac, it's 'ß' or the eszett, which is less likely judging from your email address.) ConTeXt makes this easy: just use the macro \sectionmark . If the original document uses an "extended ascii" encoding for characters like this, you might find it easier to use this at the beginning of your document: \enableregime[il1] % ...or... \enableregime[windows] % as appropriate. Patrick is very right, and alludes to a (potentially) confusing topic, with font encodings and input regimes. They're actually a very nice, powerful aspect of ConTeXt, where you enter text using your most familiar method, and don't have to worry where each glyph is located on a day-to- day basis. Hope that's some help... adam Gonçalo Morais said this at Sat, 3 Jan 2004 11:59:21 +0000:

Hi all!

...

I would like to know how I may use extended ascii characters in context, for example character number 167.

I'm sure Hans has made a lot of extensions for ,,strange'' character support. But also plain TeX offers \char167 instruction, which returns character 167 according to given font encoding. Is that what You looking for?

Regards, Pawe/l

* What should I do to use the latin9 encoding? I copied regi-il1.tex with the appropriate changes to regi-il9.tex but it does not work. Anyway: when I get a working il9-file in my private ConTeXt directory, how should I name it?

Peter, off the top of my head, I think you would do: \input regi-il9 % read the file in \useregime [il9] % make sure the regime is loaded \enableregime [il9] % activate it. I'm pretty clueless about hyphenation, though. adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

For correct hyphenation and some other details you need to declare your language: \mainlanguage[fr] or \language[fr] HTH Grüßlis vom Hraban! -- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/

The original posted example began with \fr, which should be the same as \language[fr].

right.

Here again the example, where you can see the problem.

Here's no problem - I get hyphenation. Grüßlis vom Hraban! -- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/

Ok, then there must be a problem with my installation. I only get "evolution" hyphenated, but not "évolution"... :( Cheers, Peter

take the latin modern fonts. This example works with winxp and miktex: ************************************************************* \language[fr] % \useencoding[ec] \enableregime[il1] % latin modern fonts \usetypescript [all] [latin-modern] [texnansi] \setupbodyfont[reset] \setupbodyfont[cmr] \starttext évolution évolution évolution évolution évolution évolution évolution évolution évolution evolution evolution evolution evolution evolution evolution evolution evolution evolution \stoptext ************************************************************************ -- ****************************** Helmut Schwertner Schülperbaum 4 24103 K i e l phone: 0431 58 78 502 eMail: schwertner@t-online.de

Thanks for this hint. But as I read in newsgroup d.c.t.t aren't there still bugs with the kerning etc?

Strange: I don't have Latin Modern installed, but your example file compiled here with texexec without any error nor warning message...

Under LaTeX I used the EC fonts. Will it be difficult to get them work with ConTeXt?

So, there is no problem with my installation?

Thanks for your help, Peter

Hi Peter, Provided that you use a recent CONTEXT, everything should be there. Get the fonts from CTAN or from the TEXlive Collection (directory is outside the texmf-tree). Within CONTEXT: \usetypescript[modern][texnansi] %or whatever you like \setupbodyfont[modern,rms,11pt] I stand corrected, but because of the matching mechanism, you will get CMR if the Latin Modern fonts are not available - Check the pdf file's font properties Kind regards Willi
