I am having trouble getting Greek in footnote environment. The Greek appears as it should in the text body, but in a footnote all I get is the input. In short, ConTeXt \footnote seems to ignore the \localgreek command. I attach a brief test file that should produce the problem as well as the input file defining the Greek font in the first place. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. By the way, there is no message in the log file to the effect that the Greek font is unavailable at a given font size. And I am using ConTeXt ver: 2004.10.26 fmt: 2005.1.3.

enablegreek relies on catcode changes, so it cannot work inside commands. It should be redefined to make use of e-TeX's \scantoken feature so that it can re-parse its input. -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta

Giuseppe, I'll be too bust the next three weeks to look into this, but would love to correct my quick and dirty hack. Can you give me a hint where I can learn more about \scantoken and how I can implement it for my Greek stuff? Thanks Thomas

Ehehehe. The reason why I was so generic in my answer is precisely the same :) Something like \def\localgreek#1{\scantokens{\Gf\enablegreek#1}} could work. -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta
Guiseppe and Thomas— A quick run though with my test file indicates that \def\localgreek#1{\scantokens{\Gf\enablegreek#1}} will work in the body text, but only if one enters the Greek code using double braces as follows: {\localgreek{Greek code}} With single braces either the Greek turns on and stays on thereafter or the breathings get messed up with initial spaces. Still no Greek in the footnotes, though. Alan On Jan 19, 2005, at 7:05 AM, Giuseppe Bilotta wrote:

First: thanks to Giuseppe and Hans for their suggestions! As soon as I have a bit more time, I will look into the \scantokens command and try and correct my Greek modules. However, I had a couple of minutes today, and it looks like the solution to Alan's problem is much simpler. In your sample, Alan, if you replace \setupbodyfont[cmr, 10.5pt] with \setupbodyfont[cmr, 10pt] %or 11 pt or 12 pt the file compiles cleanly, with Greek in the footnotes where it should appear. So, for the time being, it doesn't seem to be a problem with the catcode changes. If I'm not mistaken, this would have given weird characters, but the problem was that the font change was not done at all. So: I had already mailed off-list to Alan that I thought the problem was with defining the new bodyfont. And I think this is right. In my definition for the Greek fonts, I have this line: \definebodyfont[4pt,5pt,6pt,7pt,8pt,9pt,10pt,10.5pt,11pt,12pt,14pt,14.4p t,16pt,18pt,20pt,22pt][rm][Gf=greeoxon sa 1.08] So I would assume the following: 1. When the body font of the document is 10, 11 or 12 pt, the footnote body font is in one of the predefined sizes, i.e. 8, 9, 10, whatever. 2. When the body font is a weird number like 10.5, ConTeXt (or is it eTeX itself?) recalculates the size for the footnote, which will be an even weirder number. Accordingly, the definitions in my file won't work anymore. Thusly: I looked at the source to find out by which factor the font in the footnotes is scaled, but couldn't find out. So my questions: how is this font size calculated? Or is it possible to give a "blanket" declaration for font sizes in my file (there is something like <-> in LaTeX which means "all sizes," if memory serves right). Thanks for the help!
