Thanks to all. That gives me some leads. I wanted to try something using your advice but in the mean-time decided to typeset my document in lucida instead of comp modern. My installation just won't do it. So I am struggling on this and leave the graphs to later.

I stand corrected, the idea is to have a basket with shapes and another basket with arrows. Pick on the fly the necessary pieces and assemble them in a chart, place the chart in a figure environment and put a numberd legenda underneath of it. -- Hm, I would not know how to achieve this without tweaking the sources...

fillinfield

Dear ConTeXt users, I just started to try \fillinfield as described in the up-todate manual 1998/1. For some names it worked properly, but for my own name it didn't. (ConTeXt ver: 2002.8.23 fmt: 2002.11.25 int: dutch mes: dutch) Here is the example: %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \steluitvoerin[pdftex] \stelinteractiein [status=start] \starttekst Mijn naam is: \invulveld{Sytse} Zijn naam is: \invulveld{Wytse} \stoptekst %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Sytse Knypstra

Re: [NTG-context] Magazine: OpenType Pro fonts in ConTeXt
by Bruce D'Arcus 09 May '03

Also, I've noticed odd kerning with apostrophes, in both Jenson Pro and, it seems, in your sample on page 1 where the word "Adobe's" looks quite odd. Any ideas what's going on with that? A mistake in the metric files? And how would this be corrected; go into the kerning pairs and adjust them for this glyph? Bruce

Bill or Achim could define their own hanging preferences in their own fonthandling in a file that's input. They can then do a mass find/replace of "handling=pure" and put their own named font handling in. Cheers, adam -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Adam T.

Font h__ revisited.
by John Culleton 08 May '03

08 May '03

No virtuous deed goes unpunished. I have been using old-fashioned \font commands with Context because the other was just too confusing. But I htought it was time to ger religion. So I copied the following pretty much verbatim from a manual: \definefontsynonym [Serif] [Palatino] \definefontsynonym [Palatino][uplr8r] [encoding=default] \definebodyfont [14.4pt] [rm] [tf=Serif sa 1] ... \switchtobodyfont[14.4pt] ...and I get Computer Modern according to Acrobat Reader. ---------------------------------- But when I use this: \font\rm=uplr8r at 12pt \font\bf=uplb8r at 14.4pt \font\bs=uplbo8r at 17.3pt \rm I get the font I want where I want it. --------------------------------------------------- So what am I messing up in the first example?

Hello, I compile a document with texexec --pdf --mode=<somemode> ..., and I want to access whatever is specified for <somemode> in the document as literal text. So if I run texexec --pdf --mode=screen ... I want something like "this document was processed in screen mode" to show up in the text. How can this be done? -- +++ GMX - Mail, Messaging & more http://www.gmx.net +++ Bitte lächeln! Fotogalerie online mit GMX ohne eigene Homepage!
