Doing \definecharacter texteuro to_some_value in a typescript
does not work (giving: Runaway argument?)
has to do with \definecharacter being space delimited and
typescripts being space ignorant
you define characters in an encoding vector, so
\startencoding[whatever]
\definecharacter ....
\stopencoding
which you can do anyplace
I now put "\startencoding[texnansi]\definecharacter texteuro {\symbol
[europe][EUR]}\stopencoding" in the Tex document sourcetext for a
font having texnansi encoding but no euro symbol; that works.
However, it seems a bit awkward to have to remember to do this for
each document -- and remember to delete/change it when another font
is chosen for the document.
As you explained, in contrast to for example "\def\euro{\symbol
[europe][EUR]}" this definition does not work inside a typescript.
Is the only generic solution perhaps to be found in special encoding
files coupled to specific fonts? I.e. having a separate texnansi
coding for fonts with and without euro symbol?
