it's nearly impossible to get this working for all features (keep in mind that tex has no real feature to map font chars to other font chars) esp those with special chars.

I know this is not a trivial question due to the number of encodings and languages. However, what makes me a bit puzzled is that the following works fine: \title{\WORD{Text with åäö etc.} } So, the mechanism behind \WORD works well. It is just that I cannot figure out how to use it. I emphasize that it used to work fine even in the \setuphead definition, but that was with an old version (April '05). ---

works ok here (can you try the latest version - beta?)

The version I am trying to use is rather a fresh one: TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 texexec : TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005 texutil : TeXUtil 9.0.1 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992-2006 tex : unknown context : ver: 2006.03.25 13:21 cont-en : unknown cont-nl : unknown Has there been any change after that? If not, I could brew up a minimal example to illustrate the problem. BR, - Ville
