[Fwd: Re: [NTG-context] Where is \typescriptthree documented?]
by Taco Hoekwater 08 Dec '05

Patrick, Perhaps it is easiest if you start simple that 'api' subdivision in texshow-web first. Than i can start adding stuff at any time I have a minute or so to spare. Creating a big preprocessed cont-api.xml file is unlikely for (at least) the next month.

\startbackground vs. \definetextbackground

Should be doable using some extra metafont macros, right? Then \startbackground could be flagged as obsolete. ;-) Taco

Compiled pdfetex
by Duncan Hothersall 30 Nov '05

Ref the thread on the main list: I have compiled pdfetex on my glibc2.3.2 machine and it works for me - can someone check that this works on a newer machine too? Below URL (not permanent) should point to a zip containing pdfetex and pdfetex.pool. http://people.capdm.com/dh/home/pdfetex1-30-4-linked-to-glibc2-3-2.zip Many thanks, Duncan

ConTeXt GUI & Sample documents
by Adam Lindsay 22 Nov '05

22 Nov '05

Hello Syndicate, Jérôme Laurens, maker of iTeXMac, is being *very* ambitious for his 2.0 version, and he contacted me for some ideas/contributions on the ConTeXt side of things. First, he wanted some sample documents and/or templates. Since every iTeXMac document is actually a directory, and it is project-based, I was wondering if there were any folks who had good examples using products/ environments. Yes, I'm keeping my eye on the released manuals. :) Secondly, he asked which texexec were the best to expose in the GUI. I came up with this list off the top of my head: --mode= --usemodule= --xmlfilter= --environment= --batch --once --runs= (The engine switches will probably be set on a project level, he said, and --pdfarrange and the like would probably be exposed in another GUI helper.) Is there anything else really compelling to expose in a GUI? Hans, he also has the ability to point at different source trees on a preference and project basis. I will look at the minimal trees, to see what needs to be done to support them within his framework. Mac users can take a look at the rough but promising project here: <http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php? group_id=58056&package_id=53754> (currently iTeXMac2 preview8) -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

adobekb problem
by Taco Hoekwater 21 Nov '05

21 Nov '05

Hi, This has taken me a while to realise, but the following way to use the psnfss fonts is broken: \usetypescript[adobekb][ec] \usetypescript[palatino][ec] \switchtobodyfont[palatino] You need to load the map file for 8r, because the metrics in EC encoding are virtual fonts. There is a map file for EC metrics, but that is absolutely useless for these virtual fonts. The easiest way of doing that is: \usetypescript[adobekb][8r,ec] \usetypescript[palatino][ec] Previously, this stuff used to work because context-base.map and pdftex.map contained all of the map files, including the 8r one, but now that context-base.map is gone, manual loading of 8r is needed. Bye, Taco
