\enableregime, \setupbodyfont and the amsl module

[Giuseppe Bilotta]

Hi Hans and all,

a user on it.comp.software.tex just noticed a funny interaction
between the amsl module and an appropriate choice of fonts and
encodings. The following minimal test file shows the problem:


\setupbodyfont[ber,pos]
\usemodule[nath]
\enableregime[il1]
\starttext
\`e è un'attività
\stoptext 

Notice that accented letters come out like letters with two
commas below.

The amsl module has to resort to this trick:

%D Font Stuff
%D
%D First of all, we need Fraktur to be loaded correctly, something
%D which ConTeXt doesn't do by default (at least by now)
%D Can't find a better, faster, cleaner way to do it;
%D it should probably be added to ConTeXt default for AMS, anyway

\definebodyfont [12pt,11pt,10pt,9pt] [mm] [mc=eufm10 sa 1]
\definebodyfont [8pt,7pt,6pt]        [mm] [mc=eufm7 sa 1]
\definebodyfont [5pt]                [mm] [mc=eufm5]

%D to make sure they get loaded, we make a font change
%D we restore rm afterwards, not having a way to decide which one
%D was active (anyway, rm is a pretty safe bet when loading
%D a module \dots)

\switchtobodyfont[mm]
\switchtobodyfont[rm]


So I *know* where the problem comes form, but I don't know how
to fix this. Can anybody come up with a sensible solution?

You probably have the old version that doesn't load amsl. Try

\usemodule[amsl]

instead of \usemodule[nath]

(and update your nath and amsl modules from CTAN, too ;))
