Subject: Problem with AER-Font : ß becomes SS
Date: Sun, 04 Mar 2001 13:34:25 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <5.0.2.1.2.20010304130201.00a705c8@pop.btx.dtag.de> (raw)

Hi!

I'm using now the AER-Font to make my hyphenation for german words work.
All seemed to work fine until a more careful reading of my text

When I run a file :
\mainlanguage[de]
\language[de]

\setupbodyfont[aer, 10pt]
\useencoding[pro]

\input xhyphen

\starttext
äÄ üÜ öÖ ß
\stoptext

I get in my pdf-file the output :
äÄ üÜ öÖ SS

I want the ß to stay an ß and not to become an SS. This looks wrong in 
words like "auSSerdem"

Changing \useencoding[pro] to \useencoding[ec] doesn't change this.
Changing \useencoding[pro] to \useencoding[win] brings up again that 
hyphenation-error..

Changing my file this way :
\mainlanguage[de]
\language[de]

\setupbodyfont[aer, 10pt]

\input xhyphen

\useencoding[win]

\starttext
äÄ üÜ öÖ ß
\stoptext

seems to do it, but it doesn't look right to me to change the encoding 
after the hyphenation is done.

And what do I need \useencoding[win] for. I thought that the AER-Font would 
contain the Umlauts and the ß so that there be no need to
map them again. Is there a mistake in the mapping of the ß in the AER-Font?

I'm using the latest stable version of ConTeXt - 2001.2.27 - and fpTeX with 
all the updates that are available on ftp.dante.de.

Greetings
      Robert
