Hi,
At the location mentioned below you will find a font special. Before we
send the files to the printing house (next week) we want to make sure that
the for us not so familiar languages are code / entered / typeset correct.
It's a booklet at cdrom jewel case format so that it can sit next to the
tex (live) collection.

Looking at the special-s version, I noticed a few things:
Special Characters : Euro (& others) (p. 106)
The synthesized forms of the Euro, paragraphmark, copyright, registered,
and trademark make the limits of the default (or is it ec?) encoding
apparent. Ick.
What's up with the promille?
Historical Notes : Courier
Off the top of my head, I thought Courier originated with (designed by?
commissioned by?) IBM. I can look into it.
Historical Notes : Charter
"Charter offers small cap, extension and alternate typographer sets that
help to make it more versatile and functional."
This is misleading in a book focussed on free TeXLive fonts. I would suggest:
"Bitstream offers small cap, extension and alternate typographer sets
that help to make Charter more versatile and functional."
Interesting design (as always!)

Dear Hans,
I've found just two things which can be corrected but probably nobody
will blame you if they remain as they are. Everyone is used to seeing
Polish names written without Polish special characters in foreign
publications but since you include a sample text in Polish and
enlarged Polish characters in each font it would be natural that you
also give font names in Polish that is:
"Antykwa Toruńska" and "Antykwa Półtawskiego"
but I am pretty sure everyone will find these fonts filed under
"Antykwa Torunska" and "Antykwa Poltawskiego" so maybe just a footnote
explaining how they should be spelled correctly will be enough.

Hi,
I have found strange behaviour for bTABLE -- I use global setup for cells
height and override it in some cells, but the height of one of such
overriden cell is ignored.
I'm sending a short example -- I expect both tables in the example to be the
same, but they are not.
Thank you for help,
Martin Kolarik

\starttext
Table with bad height of [upper third] cell:
\bTABLE[height=2cm]
\bTR
\bTD[nr=2] first\eTD
\bTD[nr=2] second\eTD
\bTD[height=1cm] upper third\eTD
\eTR
\bTR
\bTD[height=1cm] lower third\eTD
\eTR
\bTR
\bTD[nc=3] long last row\eTD
\eTR
\eTABLE
\godown[2cm]
The desired look, but achieved by different settings:
\bTABLE[height=1cm]
\bTR
\bTD[nr=2] first\eTD
\bTD[nr=2] second\eTD
\bTD upper third\eTD
\eTR
\bTR
\bTD lower third\eTD
\eTR
\bTR[height=2cm]
\bTD[nc=3] long last row\eTD

Just a note about the text of Czech version of Universal Declaration of
Human Rights. (page 124 of the document special-s.pdf) there are some
typos/misspellings most notably in the first word of the title.
(first word is wrong)
<wrong>Šeobecná deklarace lidských práv</wrong>
<correct>Všeobecná deklarace lidských práv</correct>
(in Czech language is "t<quotesingle/>" written as one letter "ť")
<wrong>at<quotesingle/> jde</wrong>
<correct>ať jde</correct>
(wrong spelling)
<wrong>príjímat</wrong>
<correct>přijímat</correct>
(it's one word)
<wrong>myš lenky</wrong>
<correct>myšlenky</correct>
