[NTG-context] Named characters

[NTG-context] Named characters

[Thomas A. Schmitz]

Hi all,

not a complaint, just a question (for Hans and Wolfgang, I guess): in 
recent versions of lmtx, Greek named characters (constructs such as 
\greekdasiatonos) don't work any more. Which means I have to adapt some 
of my older macros. Is this an oversight or did they get axed?

All best

Thomas

I assumed that most moved on to utf so ... when i looked at these 
definitions there were plenty greek, cyrillic, etc that were just there 
because in mkii we had to follow the 'name' route and it's a waste of 
memory and hash entries. For now I kept the latin but it is tempting to 
ditch them too.

We could of course make a module with named ones,
