context + MacOS + accents

context + MacOS + accents

[Jean-Pierre Le Narzul]

Hi,

I'm using ConTeXt on my iMac (teTeX distribution through I-installer 
program)

Everything seems OK except for inputing accentuated characters ...
If I type \'a I got the correct character (accentuated a) but if I type 
directly the accentuated
character from the keyboard, I got no result ....

I start my document with \useregime[mac] (or \enableregime[mac]) but it 
does not change
anything ....
Any idea ?

thanks in advance

a wild guess: your file is encoded in isolatin 1 and not MacRoman. So
give \enableregime[il1] a try.

So what editor did you use? \enableregime[mac] should be ok. How old
is your ConTeXt version?

You won't be the last person to try using it. So it would be nice to
get this fixed.

this is indeed an faq. This is the second time it was asked within a
few hours... ;-)

Seriously: have you seen my previous post to your question?

(short answer: try \enableregime[il1])
