To typeset the old-slovenian I have to wait for another couple of
years for some more glyphs which cannot be faked ;)
(But you know - our phoneticians never run out of ideas how to write
what we speak. These strange glyps are a part of modern dictionaries
and grammars.)

I'm glad that I can finally type one of the characters that I was
searching for years in LaTeX :) ... Also thanks to Brooks for
inspiring me with his nice question marks in the garden.

Thank you, Hans! This macro solved two problems at once :)
Now I can also define \udoublegrave (the "Aditions for Slovenian and
Croatian" section of Unicode ;) by simply putting
\mirror{\texthungarumlaut} as an argument to \topaccent.

Definitions of those strange glyphs have nothing to do in the ConTeXt
core, but perhaps you can put the \topaccent there as someone else
could need it as well.

Thanks again,
     Mojca

rotated accented character

[Mojca Miklavec]

Hello,

I would like to define an accented rotated character e,
"schwagrave". The following definition fails because of two reasons:
- rotate rotates around the middle of the baseline (I would like to
place the rotated e at the same place where it was before)
- buildtextaccent doesn't like the box produced by rotation


%----------------------------------------------------------%

% U0254 LATIN SMALL LETTER OPEN O
\definecharacter openo {\rotate[rotation=180]{c}}

% U0259 LATIN SMALL LETTER SCHWA
\definecharacter schwa {\rotate[rotation=180]{e}}

\definecharacter schwagrave
{\buildtextaccent\textgrave{\schwa}}

1\openo 2\schwagrave 3

%----------------------------------------------------------%

In the second example I would like to rotate the accent to produce some
other glyphs used in our phonetics:

%----------------------------------------------------------%

\definecharacter textinvertedbreve {\rotate[rotation=180]{\textbreve}}
\def\buildtextbottominvertedbreve
{\bottomaccent{.25ex}{0}{5}{\textinvertedbreve}}

% U0217 LATIN SMALL LETTER U WITH INVERTED BREVE
\definecharacter uinvertedbreve {\buildtextaccent\textinvertedbreve u}
% U0216 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER U WITH INVERTED BREVE
\definecharacter Uinvertedbreve {\buildtextaccent\textinvertedbreve U}
% spoken u, not in Unicode
\definecharacter uinvertedbrevebelow {\buildtextbottominvertedbreve u}

1\uinvertedbrevebelow 2\uinvertedbreve 3\Uinvertedbreve 4
\it 1\uinvertedbrevebelow 2\uinvertedbreve 3\Uinvertedbreve 4

%----------------------------------------------------------%


Any suggestions?

Thank you,
	Mojca

there are many ways to rotate ...

% \dostepwiserecurse{0}{360}{10}
%   {\startlinecorrection[blank]
%    \hbox
%      {\expanded{\setuprotate[rotation=\recurselevel]}%
%       \traceboxplacementtrue
%       \hbox to .2\hsize{\hss\ruledhbox{\rotate[location=depth] 
{\ruledhbox{\bfb  (depth)}}}}%
%       \hbox to .2\hsize{\hss\ruledhbox{\rotate[location=fit]   
{\ruledhbox{\bfb    (fit)}}}}%
%       \hbox to .2\hsize{\hss\ruledhbox{\rotate[location=broad] 
{\ruledhbox{\bfb  (broad)}}}}%
%       \hbox to 
.2\hsize{\hss\ruledhbox{\rotate[location=normal]{\ruledhbox{\bfb 
(normal)}}}}%
%       \hbox to .2\hsize{\hss\ruledhbox{\rotate[location=high]  
{\ruledhbox{\bfb   (high)}}}}}
%    \stoplinecorrection}

Thank you, Hans. It was actually \hbox in the examples which solved
the first part of my problem. I already tried different location=*
out, but I was confused by the fact that some of them behaved pretty
strange without \hbox. An example:

% location = depth, fit, broad, normal, high
a\rotate[rotation=180,location=broad]{e}i\par
a\rotate[rotation=180,location=broad]{\hbox{e}}i

(I can well imagine that this is the intended behaviour when mixing
writing directions. I was just a bit confused and thought that I was
missing some other parameter which wouldn't need an additional hbox.)


So now that I have the properly rotated letter, is it possible to do
the following:

% U0259 LATIN SMALL LETTER SCHWA
\definecharacter schwa {\rotate[rotation=180,location=high]{\hbox{e}}}
\definecharacter schwagrave {\buildtextaccent\textgrave{\schwa}}
\schwagrave

Thank you,
    Mojca
