Yes, that's my error=97let's change that to thorn :) 8r encoding it is. >> The result of something like \"a (or \"{a}) is _a_ without the >> diacritic. > > Hmm. What do your typescript definitions look like, then? Does ConTeXt > know you're using 8r as the encoding for the font? I believe so. An example from the typescript file: \usetypescriptfile [type-buy] \loadmapfile [8r-stf-andulka-book.map] \starttypescript [serif] [andulka-book] [name] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [Andulka-Book] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [serif] [andulka-book] [8r] \definefontsynonym [Andulka-Book] [8r-andulkabook] \stoptypescript >> Curiously (to me, at least:), if I enter the actual glyph: >> =E4, it gives me the character I need=85but only for a few runs! > > Okay, that now becomes an interaction between regime (input file > encoding) and the rest.

I use TextMate for the text editing, and it's currently saving in=20 UTF-8. =85this area of "regime and encoding" isn't very clear to me. = That=20 sounds like a clue. >> Some trials evince an ff-ligature as the diacritic. > > That's another data point pointing to the encoding not being in synch. > > So.

Funny you=20 should mention Charter in this regard, as it always had a certain=20 appeal.
