Thank you.

\Dstroke has some "problems" anyway, at least in cmr (lmr?). The
stroke should be on the left, but it is on the right. I thought it was
just because \tt don't have that glyph, but also the roman version is
rendered extremely bad.

Thanks, I looked into some .afm files and they were actually there.

So what is the proper way of writing 'ä' (a umlaut) then?

Good idea indeed, it looks much nicer this way.

regi-ce is a bad name as there are 4 central european encodings
(IBM-853, ISO-8859-2, MacCE and Windows-1250) plus Croatian. 1250
alone is probably OK, but there's no hint in file name about which
encoding is meant (windows/ibm/iso/mac ...).


I tested the code for regime synonyms and it looks OK. Thanks for
investingating my request :)

What do you mean by writing file synonyms? Where would it be used?

For unicode regimes, this is probably an useful (more or less complete) set.

\defineregimesynonym[utf8][utf]
\defineregimesynonym[utf 8][utf]
\defineregimesynonym[utf-8][utf]
\defineregimesynonym[unicode][utf]

(Btw, I tried all the four before I got the answer on the mailing list
that I should use 'utf' instead.)

For the rest of the regimes I have to take a look first, so that I
don't say anything wrong. There has to be only one clear scheme.

Thank you. The commands were only kind-of-working here. They produced
the table that I wanted (and quite some trash as well), but they were
complaining a lot.

Thanks for the contribution into Visual debugging, Hraban!


What's the proper name for nonbreaking space, '~', to be put in regi-* file?
