Getting icelandic letters (eth and thorn) to work.
Hello. I am trying to get the icelandic letters thorn (þ) and eth (ð) to work but nothing seems to do. These letters work correctly in LaTeX and I am using ConTeXt and LaTeX from the TeTeX distribution. The file I currenty have is like this (It's in ISO 8859-1 encoding): ========= % interface=en output=pdftex \enableregime[il1] % sets input encoding il1 = ISO 8859-1 \mainlanguage[is] % Á að setja á íslensku \setupencoding[default=ec] \useencoding[ec] \starttext aábcdðeéfghiíjklmnoópqrstuúvxyzþæö AÁBCDÐEÉFGHIÍJKLMNOÓPQRSTUÚVXYZ\Thorn{}ÆÖ \stoptext ========= And it gets run (although I had to change Þ to \Thorn{} to get it running) but when I view the .pdf file I just see question marks where the thorns and eths should be. Some version info from texexec: TeXExec 3.1 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2002 This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.14159-1.10b-2.1 (Web2C 7.4.5) ConTeXt ver: 2003.1.31 fmt: 2005.10.15 int: english mes: english If anyone knows what could be wrong I would very much appreciate some help! Thanks in advance, Kári Hreinsson

Update your ConTeXt and better also your pdftex. I don't know if that will fix your problems, but I remember there was a discussion on the icelandic letters some months ago that resulted in some encoding fix. You can also try to use utf-8 regime.

Hello,
I installed teTeX manually following the instructions at
http://wiki.contextgarden.net/TeTeX_3.0_installation and this works
now!
It's strange though that such an old version of this software comes
with teTeX in the Ubuntu (debian) packages.
Anyhow, thanks for quick and good answers!

has to do with the definition of 'beta' and 'stable' and such; form the trafic on the tex live list i conclude that debian is in the process of getting tex packages more up to date Hans ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

There are not in the official distrib yet, but the TeXlive based packages available at http://www.tug.org/texlive/Debian/ are very great and up to date. In particular they provide This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.30.2-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.5) TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 TeXUtil 9.0.0 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992-2004 Instructions for install at http://www.tug.org/texlive/debian.html Olivier

indeed, the debian tex maintainers are quite actively participating in tex live packaging, Hans

Dear Hans, In relation to your reply above I replied to Kári Hreinsson in relation to getting Icelandic letters with this:
Dear Kári,
This works for me.
\usetypescript[modern][ec] \setupbodyfont[10pt,rm]
\enableregime[utf] \setupencoding[default=ec] \useencoding[ec]
\starttext aábcdðeéfghiíjklmnoópqrstuúvxyzþæö AÁBCDÐEÉFGHIÍJKLMNOÓPQRSTUÚVXYZ\Thorn{}ÆÖ \stoptext
Try that. I am using ConTeXt through the T2005 install by Gerben Wierda.
but on looking at my output again the ö and Ö (o umlaut) do not appear when using the 'modern' typescript above. They do appear using 'palatino'. Is this a problem with modern?
