Hello,
I'd like to use a Unicode font such as Linux Libertine [1]. Besides things which should happen "automatically" like ligatures, I want to enter all characters directly in the UTF-8 file (including those wierd characters). I remember that there is some UTF-8 support in ConTeXt, but I don't remember the details. Is it possible to simply enter a character such as U+FB02 or do I have first to adapt both the input encoding and the font encoding files?
in prinicple regime utf should work for the input; characters are mapped onto their symbolic names so fonts should go ok with regards to unicode fonts: you need to create a 255 char variant (i.e. ttftoafm and alike); i'm sure that some of the open type font guru;s on this list can tell you how to proceed there Hans
