Hi there. I've worked on a bit of Unicode (output) for ConTeXt recently, and I noticed that Vietnamese needs a little bit more work. There's already viscii input and x5 encoding output (apparently) working in ConTeXt. As I understand it, UTF-8 support will then require an update to ConTeXt's unic-* files (giving named glyphs for input) and then a slight update to the enco-x5 file. I guess what's really needed are canonical internal names (like 'ygrave' or 'ohornhook') for ConTeXt's use. Don't be afraid: it's not difficult, just a bit tedious. So I should ask, Mr Penguin, how are you with sed, Perl, or Ruby? Also, do you have any good references for character tables for the encoding(s?) that VnTeX uses? I don't have it installed on my machine (yet). -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T. Lindsay, Computing Dept.
