Accents too high

Accents too high

[Patrick Gundlach]

Good night,

if i use the file below, everything is just fine...
----------------------
%\mainlanguage[de]
%\setuplayout[grid=yes]
\showgrid
\starttext
\startitemize[n]
\item first
\item \startitemize[a]
\item g"ultig soll in "Ubereinstimmung mit den Regeln
\item innertwo
\stopitemize
\item third
\stopitemize
\stoptext
----------------------
but as soon as I activate the mainlanguage[de], the a from the second item 
(and the following text) drop down a bit. It seems that the dots on the U 
(Ü) are causing that behaviour. But how do i make the 2. and the a. stay at 
the same height?

btw: it happens with and without grid=yes in setuplayout.

looks like i messed up some things when redefining the encoding macros. 
I'll sort it out.

Hi Patrick (and other umlaut users),

This can go into cont-new.tex:

\def\smashaccent#1%
   {\dontleavehmode
    \bgroup
    \setbox\scratchbox\hbox{#1}%
    \ifdim\ht\scratchbox>\strutheight \ht\strutbox\strutheight \fi
    \ifdim\dp\scratchbox>\strutdepth  \dp\strutbox\strutdepth  \fi
    \box\scratchbox
    \egroup}

\def\moveaccent#1#2%
   {\smashaccent
      {\dimen0=\fontdimen5\font
       \dimen2=\dimen0
       \advance\dimen2 -#1%
       \fontdimen5\font\dimen2
       #2\relax
       \fontdimen5\font\dimen0}}

I hope that this solves (all) problems,

hans

aha, i made an error: (it's \scratchbox that needs to be corrected -):

\def\smashaccent#1%
   {\dontleavehmode
    \bgroup
    \setbox\scratchbox\hbox{#1}%
    \ifdim\ht\scratchbox>\strutheight \ht\scratchbox\strutheight \fi

    \box\scratchbox
    \egroup}

the example works fine for me. Maybe I should clear something: I am not 
talking about grid (even though it happens with grid switched on). I am 
talking about the nested itemizations:

\mainlanguage[de]
\starttext
\startitemize[n]
\item \startitemize[a]
\item "U
\stopitemize
\stopitemize
\stoptext

Just have a look at the 1 and the a. They are not on the same baseline. The 
baseline of the 'a' is a bit lower than the baseline of the '1'

do you mean that the following does not obey the grid?

% output=pdftex

\mainlanguage[de] \setuplayout[grid=yes] \showgrid

\starttext

\input tufte  g"ultig soll in "Ubereinstimmung mit den Regeln
\input tufte  g"ultig soll in "Ubereinstimmung mit den Regeln
\input tufte  g"ultig soll in "Ubereinstimmung mit den Regeln

no, new version did not help. Same results. Even tried the cont-loc stuff 
you sent.

maybe, since this one works with the enco-def definitions.

PS. I got the password for our new www server so i jhope that i can upload 
something new this week. On complicated jobs context is now 30-50% faster 
so it'w worth upgrading -)

actually, it does not solve any problem (at least one that I 
notice)

Perhaps my ConTeXt version is too old?

you did create a new format file? I'm not sure you have to but I suppose so.
