Hello all, I would like to write some words in Classical Mongolian in Latex. Is it possible to use the old Montex package of Oliver Corff in Context? Regards, bozon42

No. It's a LaTeX package, you can't use it out of the box with ConTeXt. There is a sample file with Mongolian script in XeTeX, you should try it (it's in plain TeX, if I remember correctly). http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/render_download.php?site_id=nrsi&format=file&media_id=xetex_doc_094&filename=XeTeX_doc.zip Arthur

Hello Arthur,
I have tried the xetex ClassicalMongolian.tex and the result is OK.
But the only problem remained - what editor can I use to see what characters I am writing?
Does emacs for example able to see Mongolian characters?
