Hi again,

Re: https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/364024/2148

How do you typeset a C with a macron below?

\starttext M\withmacron{c}Anulty \stoptext

Thank you.

It seems that you can use "0331 for this:

Mc\char"0331 Anulty

There also is a built-in command \buildtextmacron:

M\buildtextmacron{c}Anulty

(Not sure if it uses the "0331.)

This does not give any "fancy" raised c̱ though. Maybe someone else has better ideas. An early morning exercise:

\setupbodyfont[pagella] \startTEXpage [offset=1dk] \def\MacScale{.7}% \def\MacRule {.1}% \def\MacKern {0}% \protected\def\Mac {\dontleavehmode \showglyphs \begingroup \scratchwidth \fontcharwd\font`M\relax \scratchdistance\MacScale\fontcharwd\font`c\relax \scratchoffset \dimexpr\fontcharht\font`M -\MacScale\fontcharht\font`c \relax \scratchdepth \MacRule\exheight \kern\scratchwidth \vrule width \scratchdistance height \dimexpr \scratchoffset- \scratchdepth\relax depth \dimexpr-\scratchoffset+2\scratchdepth\relax \relax \kern-\dimexpr\scratchwidth+\scratchdistance\relax M% \glyphscale\numexpr\numericscale\MacScale*\glyphyscale/\plusthousand\relax \glyph yoffset \scratchoffset `c \kern\MacKern\emwidth \endgroup} \dostepwiserecurse{5}{8}{1}{ \def\MacScale{.#1}% \Mac Anulty \par } \def\MacScale{.6} \def\MacKern {-.1} \Mac Anulty \stopTEXpage After all, we want to be able to cut'n'paste the name.

Are the c and _ supposed to be separated like that? https://i.ibb.co/0DsPK1P/mc.png What would I have to change to put the c above the _? On Wed, Aug 24, 2022 at 12:49 AM Thangalin wrote:

Nice!

I had gotten as far as:

\starttext M{\dontleavehmode{\raisebox{.55ex}\hbox{c}}}\hskip-1ex {\dontleavehmode{\raisebox{.25ex}\hbox{\hl[.45]}}Anulty \stoptext It looks pretty close to the LaTeX version. Fixing the name in situ is much better.

Thank you!

Another nice solution, Pablo, thank you.

The macron is shifted a little too far to the left

I don’t know how ConTeXt handles it internally, but placement to main character differs with each letter: \starttext \doloopoverlist{\tf,\ss,\tt} {\bgroup\recursestring\doloopoverlist{\tf,\it,\bf,\bi,\sc} {\bgroup\recursestring\dorecurse{26} {\character{\recurselevel}̱ }\par}\egroup} \stoptext Pablo

Here's an attempt with dynamic kerning based on the font, which eliminates some of the tweaking needed. It's not perfect and, depending on the font, a little work is needed. For pagella, scholas, termes, and a few other default fonts, the results are decent. %\setupbodyfont[pagella] %\setupbodyfont[scholas] \setupbodyfont[termes] \starttext \newbox\MacMBox \setbox\MacMBox\hbox{M} \newbox\MacCBox \setbox\MacCBox\hbox{c} \newbox\MacKernBox \setbox\MacKernBox\hbox{\inframed[offset=\zeropoint, width=fit]{Mc}} \def\MacDelta{\dimexpr\wd\MacKernBox-\wd\MacMBox-\wd\MacCBox\relax} \def\MacUWidth{\dimexpr\wd\MacCBox-.75\MacDelta\relax} \def\MacRule{\vrule width \MacUWidth height .03em depth \zeropoint \relax} \def\MacKern{\dimexpr\wd\MacKernBox-\wd\MacMBox-\wd\MacCBox\relax} \def\Mac{% M{% \dontleavehmode{\raisebox{\dimexpr\ht\MacMBox-\ht\MacCBox}\hbox{c}}% \kern-1.04\MacUWidth \MacRule \kern.08\MacUWidth }% } \scale[scale=5000]{\Mac Anulty} \Mac Anulty \stoptext Thanks everyone!

Many thanks, it works fine.

I tried, but I get the following error:

\MacAnulty \par

23 \definedfont[Serif*whatever] McAnulty\quad 24 >> \MacAnulty\par 25 \definedfont[SerifBold*whatever] McAnulty\quad

The control sequence at the end of the top line of your error message was never \def'ed. You can just continue as I'll forget about whatever was undefined. mtx-context | fatal error: return code: 1

I don’t know what I may be missing. you need to process the module itself as it's just an examaple
