Re: [NTG-context] Arabic transliteration
Ugly things indeed, Mojca. And even more so given my limited skills.
Here is what I have for “H” with a breve accent below.
\def\Hbrevebelow{H\smash{\lower1.9ex\hbox{\kern-3pt\llap{\char'010}}}
\kern3pt}
This only “works” in an italic environment by the way.
With apologies to the wizards on this list,

With ec encoding you really need to do ugly things. You need to compose a character by more or less manually lowering the breve accent and take care for italic correction yourself. Not even accent primitive can be used for it.

Have you checked the very latest Latin Modern? You should not need macros, since all Arabic transliteration chars are there now. If you really do need macros, I can send you my old Arabic transliteration macros and you can use/modify those for the effect you need.

Add style=\displaystyle as an option in the definition of rightbrace.

Many thanks, Idris and Mojca. If all goes well, I will move to luatex this summer---that really does seem to be the way to go---and then investigate XeTeX, which I gather is now functioning well with luatex. For now, however, I will have to cobble a macro using hints that Mojca provided. By the way I am using Latin Modern (ec encoding).

Great, thanks a lot! And is there any way how to get in the first line \min_{x
\in X} with the parameter exactly below the "min"? Because in this solution
the parameter {x \in X} is on the right bottom, like in a line.

[NTG-context] Removing inbreakable whitespace at pagebreaks
Hi, I try to take care in my letter module to keep at least the last sentence in the text the signature together on the same page, this did work but I introduced another problem. To get no linebreak between my two sections I used a nonbreakable whitespace between both but my implementation has the side effect to keep the whitespace also if there is no signature after the text even if it the last vertical skip before the page break. You can see in the following example what I mean. \setuplayout[lines=10]\showgrid \starttext \blank[force,9*line] text \par\nobreak\blank[line] \stoptext The last line of text is moved to the second although it would fit on the first page, I could use twopassdata in my module to get the information if the \nobreak is needed on this place but I hope there is also a solution to remove the skip in the first run, maybe for MkIV only. I looked yesterday in the sources and saw \vspacing in core-spa.mkiv, I dont't know what this should do and was unable to get it working but I'm interested to know how it did work and what it should do.
