New ConTeXt and chinese module

New ConTeXt and chinese module

[Lutz Haseloff]

Hi Hans, hi all,

the latest ConTeXt Version (21.07.05) doesn't automatically process 
font-chi.tex after
"\usemodule[chinese]" i have to add "\input font-chi" to every ConTeXt file.
Is this a bug or a feature?

Greetings Lutz

Hi Lutz,

This is surely a bug.

My analysis:

The macro \doreadfontdefinition file is re-implemented to handle
the newer typescript classs (in type-ini.tex), but the new definition
does not take care of the old font-XXXX style filenames (like the
original macro in font-ini.tex did).

I will not supply a hack because there are multiple options to solve
this and Hans will likely prefer a single one over the others.

Taco

in type-pre.tex:

replace the \endinput by:

%D Special scripts:

\unprotect

\starttypescriptcollection[special scripts]

  \starttypescript[chi] \readfile{\f!fontprefix chi}\donothing\donothing 
\stoptypescript
  \starttypescript[arb] \readfile{\f!fontprefix arb}\donothing\donothing 
\stoptypescript
  \starttypescript[heb] \readfile{\f!fontprefix heb}\donothing\donothing 
\stoptypescript

\stoptypescriptcollection

\protect \endinput
