Problems with input encoding

Problems with input encoding

[Piotr Kopszak]

Hello, 

Sorry for a rather simple question, which probably has an answer
somewhere in the documentation. I spent couple of hours without
success so I hope you'll forgive me. How can I use iso-latin2 encoded
files with the most recent version of Context?

I'm not sure about Polish setting, I'd try
\mainlanguage[pl]
to set the generated words (Chapter, ...) into Polish, and
\setupbodyfont[my-polish-font-in-the-same-encoding-as-source-is]
(for Czech, cmr, and there are no problems).

Hope it helps,
D.A.

it depends on what your input encoding is

- input encoding = il2, font encoding = ? -> choose regime il2

- input encoding = font encoding = il2 -> make sure that you have il2 
encoded fonts, and set the encoding per raw font file

it works for czech (see mail David A), so polish should work as well, 
however: be aware of missing polish glyphs, not all fonts have them

I'm lost here, what did you uncomment?

Didn't have much effect either (But perhaps I shouldn't uncomment it
all, should I?). Only character I got was "ó" which is
in iso-8859-1. What tables do you need?

you may try:

   \useXMLfilter [utf]

or

   \input xtag-utf.tex

but .... first take a look in that file and provide me the rest of the 
tables -)

just one more thing. The problem would be nonexistant, at least for
me, if there was a possibility to use utf-8 input. I would gladly
completely switch to it. Is it possible? 

All Best
