hello I need this caracter: ¿ IŽve load a module, enco-ec, but I canŽt see the ¿. I also tryed \usetypescript[modern][ec] but didnŽt work either. I have another problem. ItŽs a two column document. In a page, the first column is overlaping a footnote. Column balance is on. Thankyou all for the answers to the previous questions. _________________________________________________________________ FREE pop-up blocking with the new MSN Toolbar - get it now! http://toolbar.msn.click-url.com/go/onm00200415ave/direct/01/

It is much simpler than that. Just use utf regime. \enableregime[utf] \starttext ¿ \stoptext

Do you use start stop columns or columnsets? Aditya

\enableregime[utf] \starttext ¿ \stoptext
That doesnŽt work for me either. The character name is questiondown and \questiondown works fine. Do you use that character in that way? IŽll preffer, because in spanish I have to make a lot of replaces, á, é, í, ó, ú, ñ and ¿, so I can make a mistake.

maybe IŽm repeatin this mail. The name of this caracter "¿" is questiondown, and \questiondown works, but \enableregime[utf] doesnŽt. Simply no character is shown.

I use start stop columns. IŽve fix it with a \blank at the end of the footnote but not perfectly. Maybe adding some space before the footnote can fix it better. Can that be made whit \setupfootnotes ? IŽve tryed \setupfootnotes[before=\blank] but doesnŽt work. Is the sintax ok? Thankyou. _________________________________________________________________ FREE pop-up blocking with the new MSN Toolbar - get it now! http://toolbar.msn.click-url.com/go/onm00200415ave/direct/01/

Did you configure your editor to save the file in utf-8 encoding? You can also try \enableregime[latin1] which might be sufficient for your needs.

I´ve tryed
\setupfootnotes[before=\blank]
Change the amount of blank \setupfootnotes[before={\blank[big]}] or \blank[1cm] etc. Aditya

Hello Horacio, then, your input file is not utf-encoded. Try to do a "recode l1..u8 file.tex" or replace utf by il1, since you email seems to be latin1 encoded. You seem to have character-encoding problems with your mailer too: the character-encoding of the subject line and the body are not specified. Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

IŽm mailing from windows, but Context is over linux, in another computer. But about emacs, iŽm using the default slackware emacs instalation. Maybe itŽs out of topic. I recive word doc files from the authors. I processes usin openoffice, make some edits {\em italics}, etc, and save in txt format. Then I open in emacs and start to insert comands and some replaces, the %, $, etc. In latex, I have no problem with acceted characters, á, é etc. and I can use á or \Ža. But in context I have to úse \Ža, \Že, etc. I donŽt know i f that is because the emacs encoding or what. In emacs I see teh acceted characters perfectly and I can type the loading iso-accents-mode. I prefer not to make replaces beacuse I can make mistakes besides the time. thankyou., _________________________________________________________________ Don't just search. Find.

There should be no need to use \'e etc. Check the encoding of your ConTeXt file with "file myfile.tex": if it prints something about "ISO-8859" then use \enableregime[il1] if it prints something about "UTF-8" then use \enableregime[utf] Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/
