French punctuation spacing not working anymore (2006.02.15)

French punctuation spacing not working anymore (2006.02.15)

[Gilles Pérez-Lambert]

Hello,

The following document:

%%%%%%%%%
\mainlanguage[fr]
\useencoding[ffr]

\starttext
Essai: \c ca marche? Non; fini!
\stoptext
%%%%%%%%%

doesn't work anymore. The punctuations are no more spaced correctly.

$ texexec --version

 TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005

               texexec : TeXExec 5.4.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2005
               texutil : TeXUtil 9.0.0 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1992-2004
                   tex : pdfeTeX, 3.141592-1.30.3-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.5)
               context : ver: 2006.02.15 17:41
               cont-en : ver: 2006.02.15 17:41  fmt: 2006.3.2  mes: english
               cont-nl : ver: 2006.02.15 17:41  fmt: 2006.3.2  mes: dutch

Thanks,

Gilles.

P.S.: for another question concerning glossaries on every page, I've
written a small program in Tcl, used with \installprogram. If anyone
is interested in it, I'll gladly give it. Can such a thing be added to
the ConTeXt wiki?

Salut Gilles,

I use

\useencoding[il9]
\mainlanguage[fr]
\useencoding[ffr]

\def\activateSomeCharacters{%
  \defineactivecharacter ! {\,\string!}%
  \defineactivecharacter ? {\,\string?}%
  \defineactivecharacter : {\,\string:}%
  \defineactivecharacter ; {\,\string;}}
\activateSomeCharacters
\appendtoks\activateSomeCharacters\to\everystarttext

\starttext
Essai: ça marche? Non; fini!
\stoptext

Maybe Hans can suggest a better solution ?
