hi, Mojca
The complain about the fonts is 8t encoding. use 8r
encoding. it should work ok.
I got the palatino font using 8r encoding using the
following.
\usetypescript [adobekb][\defaultencoding]
\usetypescript [palatino][\defaultencoding]
\setupbodyfont[palatino,10pt]
it should compile ok.
Thank you very much. I replaced
\usetypescriptfile[type-buy]
with
\usetypescript [adobekb][\defaultencoding]
which finally worked.
Installing cont-fnt as Hans suggested didn't have any influence at all.
However, now some really strange bug(?) appeared.
\type{\whatevercommand} doesn't work inside \starttabulate ...
\stoptabulate. This is only true for MikTeX, everywhere else it works
OK. \starttabulate and \type{\whatevercommand} both work when they are
used separately, but fail when \type comes inside \starttabulate.
It may be that MikTeX is a bit old (27.10.), but there is no newer
version available yet, so I hope that the problem will go away with
the next version.

Hmm, I suspect that some remix between my old (deprecated) Libertine in ConTeXt recipe and the ttf2tfm automatic unicode splitting would have some positive effects. (I would discourage using that recipe for alphabetic (incl Roman) Unicode fonts because it blows away any kerning that would happen between unicode blocks. Is there less kerning among CJK fonts? I would expect so.) Thinking aloud, you'd probably want to include some language-switching commands, to mediate between the calling of unicode fonts for un-named CJK glyphs (just raw conversion from Unicode to font switch + glyph number) to named roman (and other alphabetic) glyphs (conversion from UTF-8 to named glyphs to font+glyph, which retains kerning where it can). I know it's sketchy and vague, but have a look inside font-uni. It's not the most complicated file in the distro. adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

Re: [NTG-context] Chinese
Hi, Xiao Jianfeng wrote: What is the value of your environment variables about LC_CTYPE and LANG ? Well, I use SCIM to input the characters and my locale is de_DE.UTF-8. As the input works everywhere (OpenOffice, vim in Xterm, gvim etc.) I'm positiv that the problem is the lacking support of UTF-8 encoding of Chinese in ConTeXt and that this is not a problem of the encoding being wrong. Looking at the cp936 to Unicode table (http://www.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/VENDORS/MICSFT/WINDOWS/CP936.TXT) one sees that they are not the same.

Re: [NTG-context] Chinese
Hi, Adam Lindsay wrote: Is there less kerning among CJK fonts? I would expect so. Classically any Chinese character has exactly the same width, which is the same as the height (square). Nowadays some are taller than wide. I'm quite certain that there is hardly any Chinese font with kerning as this would break the grid. Thinking aloud, you'd probably want to include some language-switching commands, to mediate between the calling of unicode fonts for un-named CJK glyphs (just raw conversion from Unicode to font switch + glyph number) to named roman (and other alphabetic) glyphs (conversion from UTF-8 to named glyphs to font+glyph, which retains kerning where it can). Well, I think one uses most of the time different fonts for Chinese and non-CJK texts as many Chinese fonts don't include that many roman letters (at least the ones quoted at http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Chinese miss the ß and ä).
