missing tfm fonts
by Johannes Hüsing 06 Jun '03

06 Jun '03

In type-enc.tex there is mentioning of "existing tfm and vf files we provide", such as ec-upl*.*. Are these really needed, and how do I obtain them? My Palatino metric files have names like uplr8t.tfm. Greetings Johannes -- Johannes Hüsing There is something fascinating about science. One gets hannes(a)ruhrau.de such wholesale returns of conjecture from such a trifling investment of fact. Mark Twain

\setuphead and define global fonts of headers
by Helmut Schwertner 05 Jun '03

05 Jun '03

Hello, above \starttext I have define the bodyfont to \setupbodyfont[11pt]. It works fine. The headings I define in the following way (also above \starttext): \setuphead[chapter][alternative=inmargin,letter={\switchtobodyfont[16pt,ss]\ bf}] \setuphead[section][alternative=inmargin,letter={\switchtobodyfont[14pt,ss]\ bf}] \setuphead[subsection][alternative=inmargin,letter={\switchtobodyfont[12pt,s s]\bf}] When I use <<texexec --pdf myfile>> I get many messages that means: it would be better to define the bodyfont global. How can I do that? Thanks and best wishes, Helmut******************************************************************** Helmut Schwertner Schülperbaum 4 24103 Kiel phone: 0431 58 78 502 eMail: schwertner(a)t-online.de

Right-aligning blocks of text
by Andrew Lawson 05 Jun '03

05 Jun '03

Gents I'm a newbie with Tex and ConTeXt but enjoying myself so far. Everything is working very smoothly except for one single issue; I want to right-align a block of text, e.g. have the text left-aligned but the block right aligned. An ascii example would be; | | | Some text | | More text | | Even more text | I've tried various context structures .. frames etc and I've also tried \hboxes and \vboxes but the best I can do is to specify the distance between the text and the right margin. I want something that will stretch to keep all the text on the page with just the longest line hitting touching the right margin. I need this 'box' to contain several paragraphs. I expect that there is a Plain TeX solution but I'm hoping there will be an even easier ConTeXt solution. thanks Andrew ===== Andrew Lawson andrew(a)absentis.com www.absentis.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

MetaFun experts, In my document I want to automatically set a reference on the front cover The following line puts the value of nkdocument@Reference into the document \getvalue{nkdocument@Reference} But \setMPtext{FrontCover}{\getvalue{nkdocument@Reference}} Does not put the value into \MPbetex{FrontCover} What do you think I am doing wrong TIA -- Nigel King CTO Orthogon Systems The information contained within this e-mail, and any files transmitted with it, is confidential and is intended solely for the individual or entity to whom it is addressed.

References not working when arranging pages
by Mikael Persson 02 Jun '03

02 Jun '03

Hello! When I use \setuparranging I can't get the references to work. I use the latest beta. If i just comment the line with \setuparranging it works perfectly. Have I missed something? Here is a small document showing the problem: %%% Begin testdocument \setuppapersize[A5][A4] \setuparranging[2SIDE,rotated] \setuplayout[location=middle, marking=on] \starttext Here is an equation \placeformula[eq:testeq] \startformula \sin^2(x)+\cos^2(x)=1. \stopformula As we see in formula~(\in[eq:testeq]) this doesn't work. \stoptext %%% End testdocument Best regards, Micke P

Hallo! After asking some questions about installing metafont's, I have not made any progress. I would like to show the problem with J. Knappen's EC-fonts. To access this fonts I adapted my little typescript: -----------------type-kna.tex-------------------------- \starttypescript [serif] [knappen] [name] \definefontsynonym [serif] [ecrm1000] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [serif] [knappen] [size] \definebodyfont [5pt,6pt,7pt,8pt] [rm] [tf=ecrm0900 sa 1] \definebodyfont [9pt] [rm] [tf=ecrm0900] \definebodyfont [10pt] [rm] [tf=ecrm1000] \definebodyfont [10.95pt] [rm] [tf=ecrm1095] \definebodyfont [12pt] [rm] [tf=ecrm1200] \definebodyfont [14.4pt] [rm] [tf=ecrm1440] \definebodyfont [17.28pt] [rm] [tf=ecrm1728] \definebodyfont [20.74pt] [rm] [tf=ecrm2074] \definebodyfont [24.88pt] [rm] [tf=ecrm2488] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [Knappen] \definetypeface [Knappen] [rm] [serif] [knappen] [knappen] [encoding=ec] \stoptypescript --------------------------------------------------------------- and used the following testfile: --------------------tst.tex--------------------------------- \usetypescriptfile [type-kna] \usetypescript [Knappen] \setupbodyfont [Knappen] \starttext \chapter{Fest} Gottes. \stoptext ----------------------------------------------------------------- Problem: 'ecrm2074 at 600', which exists, should be used!
