Hi ! I've been a Latex user for some time and I'm now trying to use Context to typeset some documents in portuguese using portuguese accentuated characters but I can't seem to get it working. Every time I use an accentuated character it simply doesn't shows up in the document. I'v read the docs but haven't found a solution to the problem. Can someone provide me a simple example on how to do it, or the problem I'm facing has to do with some kind of configuration that has to be done in Context ? I'v been trying to use Context using the tex iso available at pragma's website. Thank you, Miguel Queirós

Miguel, I had the same problem when I started to use ConTeXt. Hans suggested I use \enableregime[mac] at the beginning of my documents. I use a Mac OSX. The same principle must apply for PCs. It might be \enableregime[win] In the ConTeXt manual 'Fonts in ConTeXt' p. 22 there is a discussion of Regimes. You get the document from the Pragma website. I hope this will get you going. If not one of the experts out there will have the answer.

\enableregime[mac] seems to solve the problem. I just need to add the accentuated characters as described in one of context manuals, something like: \'{i} ... etc.

I will take a look at it.

Yes, it did. Thank you. Miguel Queirós
