Summary: wrong parsing of .enc files

Initial Comment:
How to reproduce the error?
text.preamble(r"\usepackage{iwona}")

Reason for misbehaviour:
some .enc files may start with something like this:

/enciwona-qx[
/alpha

PyX considers '[' being part of the encoding name and
expects another '[' to appear.

Please also try with
text.preamble(r"\usepackage{lmodern}")

Parsing of .enc files is simple, but yet not as trivial
as it may seem to be.

Mojca

PS: Hoping that PyX will support ConTeXt once as well,
not only (hardcoded) LaTeX;
www.pragma-ade.com/overview.htm. But PyX seems to be
great anyway.

I'm marking this bug as fixed and close it. Feel free to
reopen it again, if the problem has not been fixed.

Hello Mojca,

sorry for my late reply, somehow your response slipped
through my radar. Anyway, could you try again. I'm pretty
sure that both of your problems (with the iwona and the
lmodern package) have been fixed now.

Which files did you change? Type1font and encoding weren't
changed unless I didn't look close enough.

The problem wasn't solved, but I might have done something
wrong. I'm attaching an example of an encoding file which
might cause problems in addition to "/encodingname[".

Iwona is not that important (just a nice and pretty complete
font), but Latin Modern should slowly replace Computer
Modern and might be of greater importance. For your info
only, not so important for PyX itself.

Thanks for the very fast response.

(I understand that ConTeXt is not a priority in any way, I
would also prefer to see other features before this one. In
most cases of typesetting simple labels there is not that
big difference if plain TeX/LaTeX/ConTeXt is used. It was
just a thought ...)

Hi Mojca,

I checked in a fix. Could you maybe checkout the CVS
version of PyX and try whether it fixes the problem. I 
neither have the iwona package nor, as it seems, the fonts
for the lmodern package installed.

Thanks,
    
    Jörg

PS: With respect to ConTeXt support, I have to say that
adding this, is not a priority for us, since neither of
the developers is a ConTeXt user.
