Here is my comment and question on the new feature of ConTeXt supporting the UTF8 encoding.
Actually I tried to test the following short ConTeXt document containing two Korean characters. At the second line I used the Bitstream Cyberbit font and the corresponding TFM files were generated by ttf2tfm with Unicode.sfd (the same way as the UTF8 support in CJK-LaTeX). \enableregime [utf] \definefontsynonym [UnicodeRegular] [cyberb] \chardef\utfunihashmode=1 \starttext ^^eb^^bf^^a1 ^^ec^^80^^80 \stoptext Here, ^^eb^^bf^^a1 = U+BFE1 and ^^ec^^80^^80 = U+C000. 1. Without the third line (\chardef\utfunihashmode=1), I could not see any characters. Why? 2. After enabling \utfunihashmode, I could see the first character. But not the second character. The difference was that the value of \unidiv were 191 for the first character and 192 for the second character. In fact, all characters with \unidiv >= 192 and \unidiv <= 223 (from U+C000 to U+DFFF; half of Hangul Syllables) were not shown correctly. Why? Anyway, it is now possible to get a PDF file containing several different languages with ConTeXt + dvipdfmx. Furthermore, the texts in the PDF file can be searched and extracted. Bookmarks and text annotations too! I used the following map entry (usually in cid-x.map) for dvipdfmx. cyberb@Unicode@ Identity-H :0:cyberbit.ttf Best, ChoF. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *** | Cho, Jin-Hwan == ChoF | ^ ^ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ o | Research Fellow | ~~~ | School of Mathematics ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | Korea Institute for Advanced Study | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | http://free.kaist.ac.kr/ChoF/ | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ _______________________________________________ ntg-context mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context
