well, sure ... LuaTeX is certainly on my todolist, only not at the end of an almost finished project. I assume LuaTeX is not yet mature enough for real production needs as MKII is, right? Taco? Steffen

my whole project is set in Times without problems - except at one spot there is a "beta" needed. Just this single time!

But, unfortunately, I only get it italic:

\starttext

\usetypescript[postscript][\defaultencoding] \setupencoding[default=texnansi] \enableregime[utf] \setupbodyfont[postscript,10pt] \setupinterlinespace[line=12pt]

$\beta$

β% same in unicode

\stoptext

For it is just this one character, used one single time, I don't feel encouraged to start messing around with typescripts.

Someone can give me a quick(-and-dirty) advice??

Thank,

as far as i am concerned, MKIV is far better than MKII/pdftex, and have less bugs concerning the internationalization. I use it for production purpose. I typeset all my essays using luatex, because pdftex/MKII is messy especially on non-latin typesetting. Yes, LuaTeX/MKIV had bugs, but Taco and Hans can solve them:) again. MKII+XeTeX should also produce the right pdf. but I didn't try. (XeTeX is stable for production, uh?) On Tue, Apr 22, 2008 at 10:00 PM, Taco Hoekwater wrote:

No, I do not think that would be wise. Certainly not for a project that is nearly finished.

Such a nice proper upright beta. So it must lie somewhere in the depths of context's core source ... there must be a way to get it it with oldschool MKII, no?! Steffen

No messing around with typescripts needed (but very dirty):

\rotate[rotation=15]{$\beta$}

hahaha, indeed quite dirty! but should do (as luatex is not recommended here for other reasons ...) Steffen
