Hi, Does anyone have one or more samples using the m-stream module? If so, I'd greatly appreciate it if you'ld share it/them with me! (trying to model some issues related to parallel texts...)

This can sometimes be frustating. For example, a top float right after a section \setupindenting[big,yes] \section{test} \placefloat[top]{}{} \input knuth or a bottom float between two paragraphs \setupindenting[big,yes] \input tufte \placefloat[bottom]{}{} \input tufte The reason for different behaviour of top and bottom is the differce in their definition in page-flt \def\sometopfloat [#1]{\someelsefloat[#1]\nonoindentation} \def\somebottomfloat [#1]{\someelsefloat[#1]} I understand that it is difficult to make sure that all cases are handled correctly (automatically). So, I propose a manual solution. Make \placefloat honor indentnext. Then one can do \setupfloat [figure] [indentnext=auto] and then \setupindenting[big,yes] \section{test} \placefloat[top]{}{}%<-- No blank line \input knuth and \setupindenting[big,yes] \input tufte \placefloat[bottom]{}{}%<--blank line. \input tufte I am attaching a patch that takes care of this. It can be a stop gap solution for the time being.

XeTeX and fontconfig in the minimals?
by Mojca Miklavec 01 Mar '07

01 Mar '07

Hello Hans, I really rarely work on windows recently, but it would be great if the windows minimals would support xetex & fontconfig properly. Currently XeTeX fails to work since some libraries are missing (icuuc34.dll is reported, but others are missing as well). These was true some time ago: http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Windows_Installation#XeTeX_Installation Most things still hold, the only thing is that binaries could now be taken from TeXLive. This is a list of missing files in bin: fc-{cache,case,cat,glyphname,lang,list,match}.exe icudt34.dll icule34.dll icuuc34.dll TECkit_x86.dll I don't know what these are, but they might be needed as well (no idea): nkf.exe ole32.dll oleaut32.dll rpcrt4.dll I don't have the TeXLive here, but if you take a look into ftp://akagi.ms.u-tokyo.ac.jp/pub/TeX/win32/xetex-w32.tar.bz2 the following is also *really* needed: - texmf/fonts/ {everything except opentype} (-doc/xetex/XeTeX-reference and xetex-guide might be useful, but not needed) "Setting up fontconfig" still holds as written on the wiki. Would it be possible to add these files and fontconfig settings? I would really like to remove that portion of instructions from the wiki. Thanks a lot, Mojca

Meanwhile, I checked out cont-fnt.zip, but it does not have the lbm* files either, only text font metrics are included. Cheers, Taco
