Question on \setupencoding[default=ec]
Hallo,
I have re-read the mailings in the archive concerning proper
hyphenation and I saw
that it is a known problem to have hyphenation in words containing
cedilla, accent or umlaut.
As it is solved in LaTeX with the [T1]{fontenc} package some people
wrote that in ConTeXt the equivalent should be:
\setupencoding[default=ec]
But that's not true (at least for german Umlaute).
A ConTeXt example:
\language[de]
\mainlanguage[de]
\enableregime[mac]
\setupencoding[default=ec]
\starttext
\showhyphens{alter}
\showhyphens{früher}
\stoptext
doesn't recognize früher (frü-her):
Underfull \hbox (badness 10000) in paragraph at lines 8--8
[] /cmr10/al-ter
Underfull \hbox (badness 10000) in paragraph at lines 10--10
[] /cmr10/fr^^?uher
(the whole log see below)
While a LaTeX example
\documentclass{book}
\usepackage{german}
\usepackage[applemac]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\begin{document}
\showhyphens{alter}
\showhyphens{früher}
\end{document}
brings the right hyphenation (frü-her)
Underfull \hbox (badness 10000) in paragraph at lines 8--8
[] /ecrm1000/al-ter
Underfull \hbox (badness 10000) in paragraph at lines 10--10
[] /ecrm1000/fr¸-her
(the whole log see below)
Don't ConTeXt and LaTeX use both the same hyphenation patterns?
So what must be done in ConTeXt that it also works?
Thanks for any reply,
Steffen

ConTeXt has, AFAIK, no support for ec-encoded CM-like fonts, i.e cm-super. This will change when the LM-fonts are supported.
\setupencoding[default=ec]
But that's not true (at least for german Umlaute).
use a font that is available in ec
\language[de] \mainlanguage[de] \enableregime[mac] \setupencoding[default=ec]
\setupbodyfont[pos]
\starttext
\showhyphens{alter}
\showhyphens{früher}
\stoptext

the aer (almost ec) are supported, with a font handler plug in that takes care of missing glyphs (like guillemots from plr); actually the 'almost' as well as th eneed for this hack triggered the lm font project -) Hans ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE | pragma@wxs.nl Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: +31 (0)38 477 53 69 | fax: +31 (0)38 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- information: http://www.pragma-ade.com/roadmap.pdf documentation: http://www.pragma-ade.com/showcase.pdf -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello Steffen,
I have re-read the mailings in the archive concerning proper hyphenation and I saw that it is a known problem to have hyphenation in words containing cedilla, accent or umlaut.
Right.
As it is solved in LaTeX with the [T1]{fontenc} package some people wrote that in ConTeXt the equivalent should be:
\setupencoding[default=ec] not quite. This does not really do anything, except storing the defaultencoding. (see enco-ini.tex)
But that's not true (at least for german Umlaute).
try this: (you need to setup your regime again) \mainlanguage[de] \enableregime[il1] \showhyphens{Bohrtürme} % 1 \setupencoding[default=ec] \usetypescript [all][computer-modern][\defaultencoding] \starttext \showhyphens{Bohrtürme} %2 \switchtobodyfont[cmr] %3 \showhyphens{Bohrtürme} %4 \showhyphens{alter} \showhyphens{früher} \stoptext %1 is not surprising: /cmr10/Bohrt^^?urme. Awful. %2 is slightly surprising (/ecrm1000/Bohrt^^?urme), because one would not expect to have to reload cmr again and it looks as if ecrm is loaded. But when you start using text here, no font switch takes place. %3 is the necessary step to enable ec font. %4 is what you want: /ecrm1000/Bohr-tür-me. But don't ask me why %2 displays what it does. I expected something like /cmr10/Bohrt^^?urme. Patrick -- Silent is the goldfish in its bowl
