Context in Portuguese

Context in Portuguese

[Miguel Queiros]

Hi !

I've been a Latex user for some time and I'm now trying 
to use Context to typeset some documents in portuguese
using portuguese accentuated characters but
I can't seem to get it working. Every time I use an
accentuated character it simply doesn't shows up in the
document. I'v read the docs but haven't found a 
solution to the problem.

Can someone provide me a simple example on how to
do it, or the problem I'm facing has to do with
some kind of configuration that has to be done 
in Context ? I'v been trying to use Context 
using the tex iso available at pragma's website.

Thank you,
Miguel Queirós

Miguel,

I had the same problem when I started to use ConTeXt. Hans suggested I
use \enableregime[mac]  at the beginning of my documents. I use a Mac 
OSX.
The same principle must apply for PCs. It might be \enableregime[win]

In the ConTeXt manual 'Fonts in ConTeXt' p. 22 there is a discussion of 
Regimes. You get the document from the Pragma website.

I hope this will get you going. If not one of the experts out there 
will have the answer.

Best wishes,
Charlie Doherty

\enableregime[mac] seems to solve the problem. I just need to
add the accentuated characters as described in one of 
context manuals, something like: \'{i} ... etc.

I will take a look at it.

Yes, it did. Thank you.
