Re: [NTG-context] (Con)TeX(t), Unicode and accented characters

You know that all characters in a font have a number. If you type a, the font
mechanism makes sure that you see an a. In reality the font shows you the
character that is put on the numerical position of a. In the font dingbats for
example, the character on that position is not an a, but a symbol.
In Latex the combination \"{a} can mean two things:
1. in most fonts: show the charachter on the a given numerical position, which
means that there is one character ä.
2. in some other fonts \"{a} means: combine " with a and make an ä. This means
that " is combined with the character on the numerical position of a. TeX does
this very well and thus construes very acceptable diacritical signs like \"{q},
\d{o}, \v{o}, which do not exist in regular fonts.
If you have a font which contains \"{q}, \d{o} or some other special
characters, you may instruct TeX not to create the character, but rather to
show the contents of a given numerical position in that font. That's what the
.enc and .fd files under Latex are for.
That's also the reason there are, or used to be, special fonts for Polish an
Czech and other languages: they contain predefined characters in one single
numerical position, e.g. \v{s} and \v{c} that TeX does not have to create anew
from two signs.
Kind regards,
Robert

this should work with all fonts, since there are fallback definitions

\setupbodyfont

try to avoid code pages
What I don't really understand: why did the Chech TUG have to design
*their own font*, csr, (or made changes to cmr) if accented characters
worked perfectly already in plain TeX?
in cmr \v{s} is actually two characters, while in csr it's one (composed)
character (built of two characters but seen as one); therefore when you use csr
fonts, you can get proper hyphenation (which is notthe case in cmr where the
usage of \accent primitive spoils the game);
next year, when i can assume that the new latin modern fonts are available
everywhere, i will drop cmr as default cum suis in favor of lsr (which has cmr,
plr, csr, vnr, aer etc included)
The second problem: This works under Windows when typesetting in code
page 1250. How can I use accented characters if text is typeset in
Unicode (or latin2) in Linux?
you probably need to configure you reditor to use utf
The third problem: How do I typeset '\v{c}' in some other font? I do
understand that it may not function in just any font since someone has
to tell the computer how the accented characters are built, but as long
as \v{c} works, there's no reason for
\useencoding[utf8]
and then continuing with unicode encoded characters not to produce the
desired result.
don't worry, other fonts work ok; if an encoding does not support the chars you
need, a composed char is constructed; [font encodings have othing to do with
input encoding but there do influence hyphenations]
if i'm right, ec, texnansi, and qx encoding all serve your purpose

[NTG-context] (Con)TeX(t), Unicode and accented characters
Here's a short version of my question:
How do I enable unicode encoded characters (just normal accented latin
characters) to be typeset in (any font) in ConTeXt, like the
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} in LaTeX?
And here the long one:
I don't really understand how accented characters are typeset in
(Con)TeX(t). One of the main reasons for switching to LaTeX (maybe 8
years ago) someone mentioned was: "You don't have to worry about
accented characters. You can make any accented character and it will
work all over the world." (We actually did have lots of problems with MS
Word and web browsers at that time.) And it was true.
But when I switched to ConTeXt I came against that problem again.
In LaTeX I used
\v{c}\v{s}\v{z}
at first, later
\usepackage{csz} ... "c"s"z
(which works pretty much the same as "a"o"u in German)
and finally (when someone told me about that possibility)
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} ... ÄÅÅ
As I didn't know how to use any other the font, I always used CMR, the
default, so I didn't have problems with exotic fonts either.
But here we come to ConTeXt.
For the German "Umlaut", \"{a}\"{o}\"{u} (ÃÃÃ), this was satisfactory:
\useencoding[windows-1250]
\mainlanguage[de]
For \v{c}\v{s}\v{z} (ÄÅÅ) this wasn't the case, so a proposed solution
from another ConTeXt user was:
% output=pdf -translate-file=cp1250cs
\setupbodyfont
[csr,ams,rm]
What I don't really understand: why did the Chech TUG have to design
*their own font*, csr, (or made changes to cmr) if accented characters
worked perfectly already in plain TeX?
The second problem: This works under Windows when typesetting in code
