funny letters in (type)buffer

funny letters in (type)buffer

[Patrick Gundlach]

Good evening,

\enableregime [il1]
\starttext
\startbuffer
funny letters: Ä ü ß
\stopbuffer
\typebuffer
\stoptext

gives me in test-test.tmp buffer:

funny letters: ^^c4 ^^fc ^^df


and this is also typeset like above. Is it possible to get the real
letters back without manually editing the written buffer?

i get real letters; is your tex binary configures all right (for 8 bit writes)

I have no idea where to set this up (tetex 2.0.2 on linux). Has anybody else
any ideas?

You can use 

texexec --translate=cp8bit test.tex

to get it all right! I wonder if one can make it default somewhere?

(Just came across this while reading the texexec user's guide in the
MAPS 28 :)

strange that this needed, i don't need it here (maybe unix specific)

you can say as top line in your doc:

% translate=...

and texexec wil pick it up

it would be nice if one could write this in texexec.ini :)

dangerous, since it is a document property

better is to find out why your tex does not has 8 bit by default
