Hello, When using luatex, utf encoding is not taken into account in pdf-strings. Minimal example: % engine=luatex \enableregime[utf] \setupinteraction[state=start,author=Peter Münster] \starttext Peter Münster \stoptext Output of pdfinfo: Author: Peter Münster Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

Hmm, it works here... =============== Author: Peter Münster Creator: ConTeXt - 2007.08.07 17:52 Producer: luaTeX-0.10.1 =============== But why are you using \enableregime[utf]? I think that's redundant... A curiosity: With \enableregime[utf] commented the file size is 2919 bytes, with it uncommented it's 2918 bytes. I wonder where the extra 1-byte savings with \enableregime[utf] is coming from...

The '%', perhaps? ;) I'd have guessed the 'ü' (U+00FC) can be encoded as the two-byte utf-8 stream or as a single Windows-1252 character, except that it's the utf-8 version that's shorter… --Joel

Perhaps, it's the luaTeX version: mine is 0.11.2

With this line, it's easier to compare against MKII: you only need to change engine=luatex to engine=pdftex. Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/
