Do you have a trick somewhere where you can define a conditional such that if slanted font (\it or \sl etc) do x else do y Then we could add that to the macro? Is there any other way? > you could try \definefontfeature[default][default][compose=yes] assuming > that you have the bottom accent available I already have compose=yes in the typscripts, e.g. ================= \definefontfallback [latindot] [file:LMRoman12-Regular*default] [0x0323] [force=yes] \definefontfeature [minionpro-tf] [mode=node,script=latn,language=dflt,trep=yes,protrusion=quality, expansion=quality,compose=yes,combine=yes,tlig=yes, kern=yes,liga=yes,onum=yes,cpsp=yes] \definefontfeature [minionpro-it] [mode=node,script=latn,language=dflt,trep=yes,compose=yes,combine=yes,tlig=yes, kern=yes,liga=yes,onum=yes,cpsp=yes,protrusion=quality,expansion=quality, swsh=yes] ================= but the results are bad using ================= \defineactivecharacter ḥ {ḥ} % Ux0323 is explicit within the {} \defineactivecharacter Ḥ {Ḥ} % Ux0323 is explicit within the {} \defineactivecharacter ṣ {ṣ} % Ux0323 is explicit within the {} \defineactivecharacter Ṣ {Ṣ} % Ux0323 is explicit within the {} \starttext Ḥ {\it Ḥ} ḥ {\it ḥ} Ṣ {\it Ṣ} ṣ {\it ṣ} \stoptext ================= See pdf. Even in LM, the results are very uneven ... If it takes a hard-coded solution for each char that's fine, I should be able to extrapolate from a template for just one in regular and italic. I've experimented with different ideas, but I'm really out of my league on this one ... please help! :-) Best wishes Idris -- Professor Idris Samawi Hamid, Editor-in-Chief International Journal of Shīʿī Studies Department of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523 [-- Attachment #2: accent.pdf --] [-- Type: application/pdf, Size: 12649 bytes --] [-- Attachment #3: Type: text/plain, Size: 485 bytes --] ___________________________________________________________________________________ If your question is of interest to others as well, please add an entry to the Wiki! maillist : ntg-context@ntg.nl / http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context webpage : http://www.pragma-ade.nl / http://tex.aanhet.net archive : http://foundry.supelec.fr/projects/contextrev/ wiki : http://contextgarden.net ___________________________________________________________________________________ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 3+ messages in thread
