Somehow this message didn't make it to the list...
Hi all,
I want to use a custom font encoding (in my case, enco-agr for ancient
Greek). I can't set it up for the entire document because it breaks,
e.g., the output of accented letters. But when I try to use it for
certain parts of the document only, it will insert a line break
whenever it is used. So my question: is it possible to switch font
encoding in mid-paragraph?
Best
Thomas

no problem, since font encodings are bound to fonts, not paragraphs; however,
you need to keep in mind that hyphenation is related to the font encoding as
well as the language; when a paragraph is converted to a list, it's known what
font is used and the character codes are resolved (i.e. when mixing two font
encodings \"e may have resulted in a reference to slot 123 in fontA and slot 231
in fontB which then may give funny hyphenation problems; so, when one language
is chose, you may end up with greek hyphenated in for instance the german way
when slots match those in the hyphenation patterns);
taco may shed more light on what exactly happens when mixing languages paragraphs

sure; fonts can be asociated with encodings and can be mixed in a paragraph;
your problem may be due to for instance a spurious space in one of your definitions
