Many thanks, Wolfgang, Otared and Thomas, for your replies. As a user I don’t understand why \defineconversionset needs complete names for some numerals and initials for others. And this is only required for PDF bookmarks, since everything else works fine. Here you have an example which shows the original issue: \defineconversionset[cs][0,Romannumerals,Characters,n,g][n] PDF bookmarks wouldn’t work with initials only: \defineconversionset[cs][0,I,a,n,g][n] You are the experts: wouldn’t it be easier that PDF bookmarks would accept both intials and full names? The required mixture isn’t easier for users.

[NTG-context] issues with greeknumerals
Dear list, I have the following sample: \definestructureconversionset[cs][0,Greeknumerals,greeknumerals][n] \setupheads[sectionconversionset=cs] \setupinteraction[state=start] \placebookmarks[chapter, section] \starttext \dorecurse{5}{\chapter{Chapter} \section{Section}} \stoptext I cannot get either Greeknumerals or greeknumerals working in PDF bookmarks. And greeknumerals don’t show numbering in text. Am I missing something or is this a bug?

In fact, I was wondering what “Greeknumerals” would translate to. The most common system used in antiquity is the “Milesian” system: α=1, β=2 etc., but 6 is expressed by ς; ι=10; ρ=100, with two archaic letters as 90 and 900; this is used in most papyri. There are other systems in use (especially in inscriptions), they involve special characters which most fonts don’t have. The simple system α=1 up to ω=24 is used to number the books in the Homeric epics, so it also has ancient precedents. If we want to be nitpicking, it shouldn’t be called “Greeknumerals,” but rather “Greekalphanumericalconversion,” which sounds like a really snappy, memorable way to express it, don’t you agree? So: this is just the historical and philological aspect, Greeknumerals will make sense to most users.

Re: [NTG-context] issues with greeknumerals
Thanks Thomas and Wolfgang for your attention. Actually the issue with the name of conversions exist also with Persiannumerals, which in ConTeXt results in the so called « Abjad numerals », instead of resulting in the use of Persian digits (or Eastern Arabic digits).
