Accents on fonts.

Accents on fonts.

[John Culleton]

When I try to use scripts etc. for fonts I get into the usual endless loop
of ``tfm file not found'' etc. even though the tfm's are there. So I tried to
simplify things by defining the fonts directly. This works. Unfortunately
accents don't. Here is my definebodyfont statement:

\definebodyfont[10pt,12pt,14pt,16pt][rm][tf=pncr8r sa 1, bf=pncb8r sa 1, it=pn
cri8r sa 1, sl=pncro8r sa 1, bs=pncbo8r sa 1, bi=pncbi8r sa 1]

I put accents on characters in the usual way, by using 
 Jos\'{e}
etc.

Any thoughts?

Except that with the font selection I did (previously described) it doesn't 
work.  I lose the e and get an upside down caret instead.  Here is
my font selection statement:

\definebodyfont[10pt,12pt,14pt,16pt][rm][tf=pncr8r sa 1, bf=pncb8r sa 1, 
it=pncri8r sa 1, sl=pncro8r sa 1, bs=pncbo8r sa 1, bi=pncbi8r sa 1]

Do you see a problem with my statement?

sure, how is context to know what the font encoding is?

\definefontsynonym[MyWhateverShape][pncr8r][encoding=TheOneThatBelongsToTheTFM]

tf=MyWhateverShape sa 1 etc etc
