I wanted to let you know that I am gathering a number of issues or ConTeXt things which do not work properly when ConTeXt is used together with XeTeX. Should I send them directly to you and Taco or post each problem separately on the list?
ok, what you see happen in 'non xetex context' is ok, \catcode`ð=\active \defð{^^F0} will fail because pdftex is *not* utf and only sees 8 bit characters, so you can only set the catcodes 0-255 \catcode `<number>=<number> and in your case `à will become a number ° but ° not \bgroup \let\unicodechar\unicodenumber \catcodeð=\active \defð{^^F0} \egroup could work (watch out: no `) but again, \catcode<16 bit number> is not accepted by regular 8 bit tex so, a the moment, what you observe is ok; at the end of this year, in a 32 bit pdftex, things may work different 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 -----------------------------------------------------------------

That's true for pdftex, but XeTeX should handle them OK (assuming that you're using the proper encoding in your file). If you change ^^f0 to ^^f1 or whatever other number, it works without any problems. It's just ^^f0 that's causing problems for some weird reason. I don't know if this is XeTeX or ConTeX bug (or the wrong usage perhaps, but it was Jonathat who sent this example, only for other letters).
\catcode `<number>=<number>
and in your case `Ã will become a number ° but ° not
\bgroup \let\unicodechar\unicodenumber \catcodeð=\active \defð{^^F0} \egroup
could work (watch out: no `) but again, \catcode<16 bit number> is not accepted by regular 8 bit tex
Hans, in what encoding are you sending/using this? Seems like UTF-8 file opened as if it was "latin1" (might be the same). You should use utf-8-encoded "eth" literally, not two different character \catcode`ð=\active \defð{^^f0} ð Mojca
