I send you a code in which I use the module "ancientgreek" to write the
vowels with the sign of long and short. In the case of the short vowel,
the sign appears perfectly, but in the case of the long vowel, a rare
sign appears. Does anyone know how to solve this?. Here's the code:
\enableregime[utf]
\usemodule[ancientgreek][Font=GreekOldStandard,scale=1.1]
\starttext
Alpha longa \localgreek{\={a}}
Alpha brevis \localgreek{\u{a}}
\stoptext
Mkii or Mkiv? I'm surprised you get any meaningful output at all. What I
would suggest:
1. Use proper unicode input. The two glyphs you want are in OldStandard
as 1x1FB0 and 1x1FB1. (I can paste them into this mail, but it's always
a risk whether this will be mangled by a mail agent: ᾰ ᾱ)
2. You can also use regular ConTeXt constructs:
\buildtextaccent\textmacron α}
\buildtextaccent\textbreve α}
I would advise (strongly) against using ASCII transliteration; this is
essentially a leftover from the 1980s, which should have died with the
floppy disk and the dot matrix printer...
