Retaking AUTO for \usepackage{fontenc}

Retaking AUTO for \usepackage{fontenc}

[Pedro Andres Aranda Gutierrez]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 652 bytes --]

HI again,

I'm trying to put together all pieces for this before I actually write code.

After looking at the current state, I would be lenient to include an
additional optional property to `org-latex-language-alist' I would directly
call `:fontenc'.

\usepackage[AUTO]{fontenc}
would then take it to replace AUTO. If this property is not present, the
default value would be T1.

Opinions?

Thx, /PA

Sounds reasonable.

Hi,

Next step, @all, please help me filling up the list of codings vs.
languages. I currently am somehow confident of the following:

greek -> LGR
russian -> T2A

Thanks for contribs, /PA

The information is in the encguide PDF (you can run texdoc fontenc or
texdoc encguide). You should look especially at section 2.3 256 glyph
encodings. I don't know if some languages require more than one
encoding. Cyrillic appears to be T2A, T2B and T2C. T4 is for

"The African Latin fonts contain in their lower half (0–127) the same
characters as the European Latin (T1-encoded) Fonts, while in their
upper half (128–255) they contain letters and symbols for African
languages that use extended Latin alphabets."

etc.

But I can't find a simpler list anywhere.

Best regards,

Juan Manuel

The babel ini files (why hadn't I thought of this before :-): look in the babel ini files:

<your-texmf-dist-root>/tex/generic/babel/locale/

There you have all the information by language. For example, in
babel-fr.ini:

May it be that babel automatically loads fontenc with appropriate parameters?

AFAIK, I'm afraid it's not possible. What is possible is to be able to
select a language in the middle of the document, without declaring it
before. But you need to load fontenc and the appropriate fontencodings.
According to the babel manual (p. 8), this functionality is only limited
to Latin, Cyrillic, Greek, Arabic, Hebrew, Cherokee, Armenian, and
Georgian.

Best regards,

Juan Manuel
