I gave up when I received the e-mail saying my message was waiting for approval.

OpenSuSE has TeXLive 2007, I guess, so you > should update ConTeXt. Right. My Context is from 2007. The point is that I am so clumsy about installing something on OpenSuse/Linux (I have a Windows machine using MikTex, suppose that doesn't help) that I do it always on line with a repo. Download and install rpm packages (or other files) rarely turns out to be good. But anyway I have tried to install according to the recipe I found on wiki (http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Linux_User_Installation). Didn't manage. If you have no other suggestion I can try again and post the result. > >> >> I ask if there is no compatibility between Xetex and greekmodule can >> I =20 >> use Context with unicode (utf8) input (the manual which I suppose is >> =20 >> quite outdated says Context expects pure ASCII input)? > > As I said, with the latest version, you should be able to use all > engines. So you can use ConTeXt with utf8 input (you have to include > the \enableregime[utf] line at the beginning of the file) or XeTeX > (which will only work with utf8-input) or luatex. Which manual says > that ConTeXt expects pure ASCII input? This one: mp-cb-en.pdf. Quoting from page 1: "CONTEXT expects a plain ASCII input file. Of course you can use any texteditor or wordprocessor you want, but you should not forget that CONTEXT can only read ASCII input. Most texteditors or wordprocessors can export your file as plain ASCII." I will try to run the file and I will post the output later on. Thanks for your patience.
