Hi,

I need to re-typeset an *old* book (from January 2004).

Unfortunately it doesn't work anymore with ConTeXt ver: 2007.08.09 13:04 MKII:

This is exactly what the museum is for.

First: Great – the old books are saved! (Jesus Christ ... )

Second: The "| was extremely important for contexting german texts (because of our huge amount of false ligatures). Why is it not supported anymore (or at least replaced)??

Hi Steffen, this did also work in a current ConTeXt but " is no longer a active character and you have to enable this feature by yourself. \useencoding[fde] \mainlanguage[de] \starttext erste beruf"|liche Laufbahn \stoptext You should write now in your documents "erste beruf|*|liche Laufbahn".

Please take a close-up at the minimal below. There are three components: hyphenation, ligatures and space in ligatures.

Up to now I couldn't find the *right* solution, where all three are correct.

Maybe some wizards know?

\usetypescript[postscript][\defaultencoding] \setupencoding[default=texnansi] \mainlanguage[deo] \enableregime[mac] \setupbodyfont[postscript,36pt]

%Auf\-lagen {\txx the right fl for false ligatures!}

Hi Steffen, you can change the space between the characters the |*| inserts. % original definition %\definetextmodediscretionary * % {\prewordbreak\discretionary{-}{}{\kern.05em}\prewordbreak} \definetextmodediscretionary * {\prewordbreak\discretionary{-}{}{}\prewordbreak} Now Auf|*|lagen give for me the same output as Auf\-lagen.
