Well it works with utf8 if you include xtag-utf.tex ($TEXMF/tex/context/base/xtag-utf.tex). That works for instance: \input xtag-utf.tex ��� \bye (\o,\~a,\"o)

By the way, I'm looking for a nice looking serif font, which I can use as math font and which contains at least all MES-1, better also the MES-2 characters (http://www.evertype.com/standards/iso10646/pdf/cwa13873.pdf) and the default ligatures used by TeX. So far I mainly found either WGL4 compatible fonts (http://partners.adobe.com/asn/developer/opentype/appendices/wgl4.html) or fonts which can be used for math in TeX, but not both. (At least not within a amount of money which I can spend ;-) Tobias _______________________________________________ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
