Dear Hans and gang,I got this working in mkii -- using other macros --, but mkiv is frustrating me:
====================== %% Hans' bottom accent code \unprotect\unexpanded\def\bottomaccent#1#2#3#4#5% down right slantcorrection accent char
{\dontleavehmode % why this align mess
\vtop
{\forgetall
\baselineskip\zeropoint
\lineskip#1%
\everycr\emptytoks
\tabskip\zeropoint
\lineskiplimit\zeropoint
\setbox0\hbox{#4}%
\halign
{##\crcr\hbox{#5}\crcr
\hidewidth
\hskip#2\wd0
\hskip-#3\slantperpoint % in plain 1ex * dimenless value
\vbox to .2ex{\box0\vss}\hidewidth
\crcr}}}
\unexpanded\def\buildtextbottomdot
{\bottomaccent{0ex}{4}{5}{\kern.1em\textbottomdot}}
\let\d\buildtextbottomdot
\protect
\defineactivecharacter ḥ {\d{h}}
\starttext
ḥ {\it ḥ}
\stoptext
======================
I need to adjust the horizontal position of the dot under the slanted
char. I would assume the third parameter would control it but nothing
seems to work.
Of course LM does not look so bad but I'm using a different font so this is just an illustration.
