Subject: sane accents [was RE: m-bib issues]
Date: Thu, 17 Mar 2005 08:22:52 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <423A8380@webmail.colostate.edu> (raw)

Dear fellow conspirators,
 
Is there a saner way to define the following accent using ConTeXt's framework:

\def\SHIFT#1{\dimen0=.00#1ex \multiply\dimen0 by\fontdimen1\font
    \kern-.0156\dimen0} % compensate for slant/italic in lower accents

\def\h#1{{\oalign{\relax#1\crcr\hidewidth\SHIFT{34}%
    \vbox to.2ex{\hbox{\char'25}\vss}\hidewidth}}}

\def\~#1{{\struttedbox{\accent"7E #1}}}

In my own work, the tilda is used over (upper and lower case) `h', `t', and 
`i', and the lower crescent is only used under (upper and lower case) `h'. lmr 
does not have the latter case and I still have a couple of issues with lmr so 
I'd like to maintain control over a few accents for now.

Best
Idris
