the TIPA fonts in the LaTeX package.
This is a bit heretical I know but couldn't one just use a

type statement?
Wow, this was a

For those of you who are interested, Hans has released a new ConTeXt last
week, and I've created a release notes pages for it here:

Nice.

Thank you for implementing XeTeX in ConTeXt. I have followed your
instructions following a fresh install from Gerben to ensure everything

hi all.
what's your best way of getting the current font name, regardless of how
it's set (e.g., typescript, unicode, definedfont, low-level \font
definitions...)?
I certainly know about \truefontname{}, but what to put in the braces?

tex: \fontname\font
Thanks Hans. That's reliable.
also in context: \purefontname\font
This fails with the XeTeX quoted-with-spaces fonts (just gives Chaparral
) . I wasn't looking to test that sort of thing, but there you go.

Dr. Schmidt,
I hope you don't mind that I'm forwarding your email to the ConTeXt
discussion/help list. I believe you're running into a (common) MikTeX
configuration issue here, which is something I can't help with directly.
MikTeXers? How do you increase the font memory?
best regards,

Hi Adam,
ET5 was the first proposed font encoding for vietnamese; then it was
renamed to X5 with a few modifications. T5 is a minor update -- it's
heavily based on X5 but I don't remember what has been changed.
Thanks. The questions

I'm newbie of ConTeXt. I use VnTeX (vietnamese package for LaTeX of

With current vnTeX (vntex.sf.net), we can use viscii, tcvn, vps and
unicode (utf8) for input encoding.
Cool. If there are users of things other than viscii or utf8 who come to
ConTeXt, then they should be able to be accommodated with a

Parallel to Taco's mathfontdump, this morning I ran into a problem trying

font identifier, and if I try it afterwards, I run into a

I just discovered this didn't work for me, either!
