Besides things which should happen "automatically" like ligatures, I want to enter all characters directly in the UTF-8 file (including those wierd characters). I remember that there is some UTF-8 support in ConTeXt, but I don't remember the details. Is it possible to simply enter a character such as U+FB02 or do I have first to adapt both the input encoding and the font encoding files? Tobias [1] http://linuxlibertine.sourceforge.net/ I think this is (at least for some documents) a rather nice font. It contains ~412 characters, including those required by MES-1 (Multilinual European Subset No. 1 [2]) and is available in normal and italic (unfortunally no bold or small caps, yet). Note that this font still requires some polishing, but the nice thing is that the author reacts rather fast to feature requests (though I probably redeemed all my free vouchers for a few IPA characters ;).
