Hello, Sjoerd. Interesting problem.
I just looked at <http://www.tug.org/TUGboat/Articles/tb17-2/tb51rei.pdf> Yes, it sounds like there's a way of using the TIPA *font* in ConTeXt. However, it seems like the job of adapting all of the TIPA package and the T3 encoding for ConTeXt is not trivial. Still, it seems like some degree of support can be hacked. First off, for your dictionary, what do you use for input? is it "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" or "\textphi\textschwa n"? Are all of your IPA commands contained within a \textipa{} macro? Which of the special macros do you use? \* \; \: \! Do you use the \super macro much? Does it ever get nested? (Hans's \high{} macro acts a little differently.) You can play with the basic set of glyphs with as little as: \startfont[tipa12] [""Ekspl@"[EMAIL PROTECTED] \stopfont ...but I presume you want deeper support than that. Which do you need first? adam [EMAIL PROTECTED] said this at Wed, 26 May 2004 14:32:46 +0200: >I am currently converting my Old Frisian Etymological dictionary from LaTeX to >Context and I have run into two problems. > >The first problem is that I am using the TIPA package to typeset phonological >fonts and diactitica.
