Apple-Mac Input Encoding?

Apple-Mac Input Encoding?

[Alexandre Enkerli]

Hi,
As mentioned in a previous message, I'm still a ConTeXt newbie.
Is there a ConTeXt equivalent to the LaTeX "applemac" support for Macintosh
input encoding? I've looked at the enco- and regi- files and there doesn't
seem to be an appropriate file. Did anyone write one?
Thanks!

I suppose that you use fonts from tex live or so, which means that you 
probably need a regime,

can you define one (by looking at the enco- regi files)?

it's mainly a matter of mapping numbers on named glyphs

Does changing fonts really involve a change in encoding/regime, with
ConTeXt? Seems a bit less than practical.

Possibly. I just thought someone else had done this. I should check with the
people on MacOSX-TeX...
It does some like a relatively large amount of work...

Thanks, though.

it's really not that complicated, it's mainly a matter of mapping input 
codes to font codes

if you use 'standard ps fonts' then the only thing that is needed is to map 
the mac keyboard coed onto their counterparts

not really, since it's only making one list of

<special char>  <number in mac encoding>

No, there isn't.

No, but this shouldn't be too hard. Mail me after Aug. 8 and I can
make one.

It looks like he has not mailed you, so I will do. Patrick, have you
something made in respect to a Mac-Input regime?

Best,
