problems with uppercase Greek letters in math

problems with uppercase Greek letters in math

[Mojca Miklavec]

Hello,

The uppercase Greek letters in the following example don't work since
the letters are taken from ec encoding, while the default TeX encoding
is assumed in the definitions of Phi, Psi, ... ("mr", math roman font)

Any suggestions how to fix this strange behaviour?

Thanks a lot,
    Mojca


\starttypescript [something] [ec,texnansi]
  \definetypeface [somename] [rm] [serif] [modern] [default]
[encoding=\typescripttwo]
\stoptypescript

\usetypescript[something][ec]
\setupbodyfont[somename,rm]

\starttext
$\Psi\Phi\Lambda$
\stoptext

Hi Mojca,

My rule-of-thumb would be that if you're going to use math in your 
document, you're best off defining something for the [mm] [math] family: ;)

\starttypescript [something] [ec,texnansi]
   \definetypeface [somename] [rm] [serif] [modern] [default]
[encoding=\typescripttwo]
   \definetypeface [somename] [mm] [math] [modern] [modern]
[encoding=\typescripttwo]
\stoptypescript

Hope that helps.

Thanks a lot for the extremely quick answer. This solved the problem!

And it was really stupid of me. I actually use two typescripts in the
document and I defined math font in the second one (because I needed
another font for math in titles). But I thought that the default math
family was OK. It also worked without any problems untill I tried to
use ucgreek.

(Is [encoding=\typescripttwo] used in "math" or may it be left out?)

Thanks again,

I tend to leave it out. I believe the encoding= value there is ignored.
