[NTG-context] Two hyphens do not give en dash
I installed a new font (Gentium, TrueType). Everything went relatively smoothly except for one thing: When I type -- I really get two hyphens instead of the expected en dash. I have been able to work around this by using UTF regime and typing the en dash into the source file. However, it would be easier to use -- and ---. What should I do? (Yeah, I know, forget it and be happy that the UTF works :) TIA, - Ville ___ ntg-context mailing list ntg-context@ntg.nl http://www.ntg.nl/mailman/listinfo/ntg-context

Try adding the --afmpl switch to your texfont command. It switches over to the afmpl utility, which does better with preserving ligatures and kerns. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T. Lindsay, Computing Dept.
