Subject: take \dots from the actual font
Date: Fri, 23 Feb 2001 00:42:10 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <01022300421007.00637@bilbo> (raw)

Hello,

since texnansi encoding has ellipsis included, I want to redefine the 
meaning of the plainTeX macro \dots to give this real glyph from the actual 
font.  Because if the font is different from cmr it looks very funny to see 
these ellipsis from cmr next to this totally different characters ...

It's at position 133 in texnansi encoding.  So I tried
  \startencoding[texnansi]
    \definecharacter dots 133
  \stopencoding
both in the working file and in enco-ans (with rebuilding the format).  
There is the normal dots from cmr.

Now -- as a quick hack -- I use
  \def\dots{\char133}
but since this assumes that all text is output in texnansi it is a bad 
solution.

How can we integrate this glyph (and some others -- the actual texnansi has 
the euro currency sign at position 1) into texnansi encoding?

Uwe
