Hi, below is a short patch for \definefontfamily. function selectfont.registerfiles(index) local data = data[index] local colon = splitat(":",true) for alternative, _ in next, alternatives do local arguments = data.alternatives[alternative] if arguments and arguments ~= "" then local entries = settings_to_array(arguments) for index, entry in next, entries do method, argument = lpegmatch(colon,entry) if not argument then argument = method method = "name" end if #entries == 1 and method == "features" then extras["features"](data,alternative,argument) methods[v_default](data,alternative) else (extras[method] or methods[method] or methods[v_default])(data,alternative,argument) end end else methods[v_default](data,alternative) end end end Wolfgang

mtxrun makes x11 stuck
by Sylvain Hubert 12 Sep '21

12 Sep '21

Dear ConTeXt Devs, Here's a problem that I reported last year ( https://mailman.ntg.nl/pipermail/ntg-context/2020/099862.html) with a wrong description. I thought that it had something to do with Firefox or browsers, but it turns out to be a much deeper and weirder problem messing up with the X window system. Environment: Manjaro Linux 21.1.2, Xfce 4.16 Steps to reproduce: 1. `context --version` # it can hardly be any more innocent 2.1. keep striking random keys in the terminal or mounsepad or whatever 2.2. or open a running-cat.gif in the background Expected behavior: the characters should appear as you type, or the cat should keep running Actual behavior: ~3s after `context --version` finishes, the terminal freezes and the character stops appearing for ~1s, or similarly, the cat stops running for ~1s In short, ~3s upon termination of context, the X window stuck for ~1s. More information: 1. The problem only appears 2 days after the fresh installation of latest context-lmtx, which was also the case last year. 2. `context --version` isn't doing anything, so it shouldn't be a resource problem, and I've got no such problem keeping 40+ pages open in chrome anyway. 3. Below is a more precise timing of the problem. The first output is the result of `context --version` along with the start and stop timestamps. The second output is a python one-liner printing timestamps each time it reads an <enter>. Notice how python reads an <enter> per ~0.05s until 00:33:21.597326, when it is blocked for ~0.7s. I'm not sure if it's reproducible everywhere, and I'm willing to debug it myself, but I would need the source code of the context executable. Thanks!

Hi, the \pageinjection command needs a slightly modified version (which uses \printpaperwidth and \printpaperheight) of \page_injections_flush_indeed because the current version has problems to adjust the paper size when multiple injections with different sizes appear at the same spot. \def\page_injections_flush_indeed {\setbox\scratchbox\normalhpack {\inheritedpageinjectionframed{\texsetup\p_page_injectionalternative_rederingsetup}}% \begingroup \printpaperwidth \wd\scratchbox \printpaperheight\ht\scratchbox \scrn_canvas_synchronize_only \invokepagehandler\v!normal{\box\scratchbox}% \endgroup \scrn_canvas_synchronize_reset} Wolfgang

inner item group ignores options
by Sylvain Hubert 09 Sep '21

09 Sep '21

Dear ConTeXt Devs, I'm not sure if this is an expected behavior or a known issue, but anyway, I've found that the inner \startitemize ignores margin= and before= and probably some other options as well: \showframe \starttext \startitemize[margin=2em] \item has margin \stopitemize \startitemize[before=randomstuff] \item has text before \stopitemize \startitemize[margin=2em] \item . \startitemize[margin=2em] \item no margin \stopitemize \startitemize[before=randomstuff] \item no text before \stopitemize \stopitemize \stoptext Besides, do we have an official issue tracker? Thanks! Best, Sylvain
