Nothing wrong with that, as such, but I asked Sjoerd, the original poster, about his use patterns. He actually didn't use the tipa encoding shortcuts (the mapping of characters directly to glyphs in the fonts, '@'), but rather the named glyphs (\textschwa). So I focussed on that at first. Now that I have learned a lot about ConTeXt's character system and Unicode, I see a lot that I could have done differently. But then again, it's also not the worst foundation for doing further work. (Such as hooking it in with Unicode. I'd have to put the tip jar out in order to take that on in the near future, though!) John, why the sudden interest in a 6-month old post? adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.
