Hi, I'm using some otf fonts but '--' does not produce the en dash. How can I get over this problem? Thanks, -- Yi

did you specify tlig=yes ? (btw, there are fonts with multiple dashes and hyphens (multiple unicode points for the same glyph) and to some extend - + - with - being one or the other works ok) ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hans Hagen | PRAGMA ADE Ridderstraat 27 | 8061 GH Hasselt | The Netherlands tel: 038 477 53 69 | fax: 038 477 53 74 | www.pragma-ade.com | www.pragma-pod.nl -----------------------------------------------------------------

Try to use `\emdash' instead of it. -- Best wishes, Li Yanrui

nihao Yi, you can enable all TeX ligatures as a fontfeature: (minimat example) \definefontfeature[lig][tlig=yes] \font\nolig=Tallys at 12pt \font\lig=Tallys*lig at 12pt \starttext \nolig - -- --- \lig - -- --- \stoptext Greetings Lutz 2008/11/14 Yi Zhang
