Reverted edit of !!!!!!!!!!!!TROLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, changed back to last version by Mojca Miklavec
< [[Fonts]] | [[Encodings and Regimes]] >

Here are a couple hints on typesetting Vietnamese in ConTeXt, using the fonts from [http://vntex.sf.net/ vnTeX]. Download and install the vntex, vnr (type1), and vnurw packages from [http://sourceforge.net/projects/vntex/ that site] (unzipping into texmf-local or the equivalent should suffice).

Here you can find a Vietnamese version of [http://vnoss.org/docs/LaTeX2ConTeXt-vi.pdf LaTeX in proper ConTeXt].

{{todo|where is ''ConTeXt, an Excursion'' in Vietnamese?}}

Add the following lines to your source code (or better, to your local <tt>cont-sys.tex</tt> file):
Assuming you want to input UTF-8 documents by default:
<texcode>
\enableregime[utf]
</texcode>
Set the default encoding to the Vietnamese encoding:
<texcode>
\setupencoding[default=t5]
</texcode>
Load the map files for the t5 files in pdfTeX:
<texcode>
\loadmapfile[vnr]
\loadmapfile[urwvn]
</texcode>
Unload the default CMR fonts:
<texcode>
\usetypescript[all][computer-modern][t5]
\setupbodyfont[reset]
</texcode>

With that setup, you can use one of the following preset typescripts:
<texcode>
\usetypescript[modern-base][t5]
\setupbodyfont[modern]
</texcode>

<texcode>
\usetypescript[modernvariable][t5]
\setupbodyfont[modernvariable]
</texcode>

<texcode>
\usetypescript[berry][t5]
\usetypescript[palatino][t5]
\setupbodyfont[palatino]
</texcode>

<texcode>
\usetypescript[berry][t5]
\usetypescript[times][t5]
\setupbodyfont[times]
</texcode>

<texcode>
\usetypescript[berry][t5]
\usetypescript[postscript][t5]
\setupbodyfont[postscript]
</texcode>


Vietnamese guide is available at: [http://forum.vnoss.org/viewtopic.php?id=506 VnOSS Forum]

(Quy, all, I strongly recommend not following or propagating the instructions regarding the reorganisation of the directory structure of the <tt>cont-tmf.zip</tt> file as shown on the above linked page: the Linux directory structure is old, and is superseded by current ConTeXt releases. ConTeXt tracks current changes in tetex and TeXLive, which are more definitive than found in, say, Fedora. --[[User:Adam|Adam]])

Yes, I see. But I can't have the latest tetex now in Fedora distribution, and I haven't time to compile tetex-beta from the source :( So it's the only solution which allows me to have a working system for ConTeXt :)
Maybe I'll try TeXLive later. Thanks. -- [[User:NguyenDaiQuy|Quy]]

Ok! Just installed teTeX-beta-20041128 and ConTeXt works well now :-) --[[User:NguyenDaiQuy|Quy]]
