Dear list,
I have the following sample:
\startext
\insertpages[ξ_file.pdf]
\stoptext
Using latest on Linux, it works perfectly fine. On Windows (I’m still on
Win7), it doesn’t work unless I replace "ξ" with an ASCII character.
Could this be fixed or is it really a limiatation of Windows?
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

It depends on the version and engine. For luatex we also depends on the
interfacing that the texlive ecosystem provides. As Akira mentions,
there have been some developments in that area but I didn't test that
yet (no files with utf names here) but I trust his (always done) testing
of context. That will trickle into future binaries (which is somewhat
tricky as we have experimental as well as current).
In luametatex things are different. There all windows specific
operations have wide-character support, that is, the utf8 goes via utf16
and codepages and such: filenames, environment variables, command line
arguments, whatever.
That said: I never use non-ascii non-spacy names ... it's the most
portable.

Hans,
sorry for the late reply.
I reported this because I use LuaMetaTeX and I thought Unicode was fully
available for Windows.

This was my first file with an exception to that rule.
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo

ah, i see, i need to enable something (i never came to doing that
because it's a new feature of the pdf lib)
it needs testign but i can't send you a test file because your mail host
doesn't accept our mails (bounce) and i'm not going to waste time
figuring that out

Sorry, Hans, I don’t know why GMX rejects messages from xs4all.nl
(without reading the bounce message).
I wonder whether the test file might be sent to the list in this case.
Many thanks for your help,
Pablo
