General ConTeXt Question and Answer

(This was moved here from the main page.)

Is ConTeXt free (open source) software?

Does context support unicode, I cant display vietnamese in context output DVI?

  • Yes. It supports Unicode (utf-8) input. See Vietnamese. The process it describes does not do unicode-encoded output, so viewing the DVI stream won't do much good. With a properly-configured setup, the DVI viewer should get the right glyphs, but I haven't experimented with that configuration. I suggest sending mail to the mailing list. --Adam

  • Oh thanks for telling me that Mr.Adam, and I would like to ask you some more questions. I am a chemistry specialist, and I really want to use PPCHtex macro package for displaying chemical formulas. But the problem is I could not install context properly on my system, even I have read the construction in Pragma installation manual.Do people have any easier ways to install context in correct way? I love using context when I read the manual, but it is not easy to operate the whole system of Tex. Hopefully the developers will make a procedure which users can manage the system successfully.

Thanks so much and looking forward to know your answer----hoangoclan

  • Again, I refer you to the mailing list for usage specifics, if you can't find it here. As for installation, there is a lot of information in this wiki. I suggest typing 'Installation' into the search box at the left! You haven't given enough details about your system for me to offer anything further than that. Please, this is not the right place for these sorts of questions. --Adam
