Cork encoding

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The Cork (also known as T1 or EC) encoding is a

TeX Users Group (TUG) conference in 1990 a new encoding was introduced for LaTeX.[1] It contains 256 characters supporting most west- and east-European languages with the Latin alphabet.[2]

Details

In 8-bit

hyphenation patterns where this encoding is most commonly used.[3] In LaTeX one can switch to this encoding with \usepackage[T1]{fontenc}, while in ConTeXt MkII this is the default encoding already. In modern engines such as XeTeX and LuaTeX
Unicode is fully supported and the 8-bit font encodings are obsolete.

Notes
  1. ‱ (or arbitrary smaller quantities) out of percent sign
    (%).
  2. ^
    i with macron (ī)
    .
  3. ^ 0x7F is the hyphenation character (not really a soft hyphen).
  4. ^ 0xD0 is used both as Eth (Ð, U+00D0) and as D with stroke (Đ, U+0110) which might be a problem at some occasions (like copying text from PDF, hyphenation, ...)
  5. ^ 0xDF contains SS (two letters S). It allows TeX to automatically convert the German lowercase ß into the uppercase form.

Supported languages

The encoding supports most European languages written in Latin alphabet. Notable exceptions are:

Languages with slightly suboptimal support include:

  • º
    , which are not superscript versions of lowercase "a" and "o" (superscripts are thinner) and they are often underlined
  • Đ
  • Turkish language – due to dotless i having different uppercase and lowercase combinations than in other languages
