Subject: [NTG-context] ec encoding and tcaron

Dear friends,

I apologize that I ask the same question that had been asked a year ago
but I can't find in the archive the definite solution.

I want to use new fonts in the ConTeXt to typeset the Czech documents.
TeXFont seems to be the best way to prepare metrics. EC encoding seems
to be the standard ConTeXt encoding. But it doesn't include tcaron
(well, this is true at least for EC.enc on my teTeX 3.0 under the SuSE
Linux 10.0 with the latest ConTeXt from May 28). (In the Czech the lower
case of Tcaron looks like tqouteright but nowadays most AFM files call
it tcaron). Other glyphs may miss as well (I might not notice since I
suspect that ConTeXt replaces missing letter with composites, e.g.
Ecaron with \v{E}).

So, what is the standard way I should use? I can use ec-lm.enc but is it
the right way? (Moreover, it seems there is no information for
ligatures.) I could try to use il2, but is the right way? And I had some
problems with xl2.enc used formerly for il2-encoded fonts.

So, what was decided to be the right encoding for the ConTeXt? (Is the
answer the same for the Czech typesetters?)
And one more question: Does anybody have the enc file that would make
the TeXFont to generate metrics for il2-encoded fonts for the use with
csplain (the Czech version of plainTeX)?

Sincerely yours
Michal Kvasnicka
