Consider the following document: \starttext Some ligature tests: ff, fi, ffi, fl, ffl. \stoptext If I process that with texexex -pdf, load it into Acrobat 5, and then copy-and-paste the text from the PDF into a text editor, the fi and fl ligatures are correctly treated as two letters, but the ff, ffi, and ffl ligatures are treated as single (unknown) characters. Similarly, searching for f within the document only finds the fi and fl ligatures; it doesn't find the others. Searching for ff finds nothing. This is a fairly significant problem in the on-screen usability of ConTeXt-created documents. In LaTeX, there is apparently a solution in the cmap.sty package (though it currently only works for T1 encoding): http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/cmap/ Is there a similar solution for ConTeXt? (Has this perhaps been solved with a later version of ConTeXt than I have on my computer?) Yes, but IFAIK only for one or two encodings (CMAP files). I have to remember ... the keyword is \usepdffontresource. See source enco-pfr.tex for more info. vit ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Re: [NTG-context] Ligature handling for PDF searching.
Hi, Attached is pdfr-ec.tex. I don't really understand what is going on, so the texnansi version is out of my reach. Also, I cannot/will not test because AR7 has no problem with ffi anyway.

Re: [NTG-context] Ligature handling for PDF searching.
I'm guessing: \input enco-pfr \startencoding [ec] \usepdffontresource ec \stopencoding \starttext fi ff ffi \stoptext (at least this loads pdfr-ec.tex) Taco Brooks Moses wrote: At 01:25 AM 7/27/2005, you wrote: Attached is pdfr-ec.tex.
