[NTG-context] Getting a barred l for all the wrong reasons
Greetings, hopefully this is a real quickie. I'm using XeConTeXt, regime UTF, language en, hoefler encoding uc receiving a barred l for any instance of this: l/ Which makes it tough to have pairs like centripetal/centrifugal. :) Any clues? Kind regards, David ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Hello David,
Although you can use the utf regime with XeConTeXt, you are often better
off not using it. (It depends on which
l/
Yeah, this was a thread on the XeTeX list. Apparently it's an Apple-
created ligature. I think it shows up with o-slash as well. Hoefler text,
right?
workaround 1) use a different font. :P
workaround 2) insert something that would interrupt the ligature being
formed, like centripital\hbox{}/centrifugal
Which makes it tough to have pairs like centripetal/centrifugal. :)
potential solution 3) use the much more ConTeXt-like code: centripetal|/
|centrifugal.
Hope one of those is of some help...

(It depends on which [oops, sent too soon...] Using the UTF regime with XeConTeXt makes you reliant on the characters defined in enco-uc/unic-0xx. Not using the UTF regime means that XeConTeXt passes the unicode directly to Apple's font engine, so you then rely on the characters defined in the font. It's a tricky trade-off in some cases, but most of the time, don't bother with \enableregime[utf] with XeConTeXt. adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

Hi Adam,
Yes, the Hoefler textalthough not by my choosing ;)
The centripetal|/|centriputal trick did the trick. Thanks again,
David
