minimal button width
by Peter Rolf 30 Sep '03

30 Sep '03

I want some small empty buttons with exact dimensions. Is there a way to do this with \button or must I use fields (ughh) instead? % interface=en output=pdftex % \setupinteraction[state=start] \setupcolors[state=start] \starttext \setupbuttons[strut=no, offset=overlay, framecolor=green, empty=yes] The minimum width of a button depends on the actual bodyfont size. I'm sure that there are good reasons for it. \blank[big] \switchtobodyfont[20pt] But I want smaller {\bf empty} \textreference[test]{test}buttons! \button[width=25mm, height=2.5mm]{Please, print me!}[test] \button[width=2.5mm, height=25mm]{Not this time!}[test] \blank[big] \switchtobodyfont[40pt] Help at 40pt... \button[width=25mm, height=2.5mm]{Now?}[test] \button[width=2.5mm, height=25mm]{Nope!}[test] \stoptext Regards, Peter

Hi, while looking at Steffen's problem I came across this: \setuppagenumbering[alternative=doublesided] \starttext test \stoptext How do I get *one* page only? Patrick -- You are your own rainbow!

I also can't see the difference between \definepagebreak[chapter][empty,header,right] and \definepagebreak[chapter][yes,header,right] But the first one gives three additional pages where just one is needed, and the control over the empty page's header (empty or not) gets lost. The [yes,header,right] solution gives just the page that is needed (for the next chapter to start on a right page) and this page is empty, finally. Steffen

ConTEXT editor for ConTeXt
by Pawel Jackowski na Onet 30 Sep '03

30 Sep '03

Hi all! Sorry, if somebody have already wrote about it -- I haven't traced 'editor thread'. Yesterday I came across small, quite suitable and FREE editor named ConTEXT. This editor has many adventages (like possibility to definining own highlighting templates). The only disadventage I found is lack of regular expresions... So it is powerfull notepad rather than strong editor. Anyway, if somebody is interested in: http://fixedsys.com/context/ Regards, Pawe/l

See this: \definepagebreak [chapter] [yes,header,right] Now it's fine. Thank you, Steffen

TeX capacity exceeded in MikTeX
by ^Nitram^ 29 Sep '03

Hi, I have the same problem as was reported at 8.04.2003 - anybody resolved it ?... I have a document (about 80 pages) and error when I compile whole. Below I attach my log file - anybody have any good idea - I need this paper today ;((( log file: [cut] ! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [hash size=35000]. If you really absolutely need more capacity, you can ask a wizard to enlarge me. Here is how much of TeX's memory you used: 6324 strings out of 67199 81075 string characters out of 744379 601426 words of memory out of 1165764 35000 multiletter control sequences out of 35000 41684 words of font info for 101 fonts, out of 500000 for 1000 96 hyphenation exceptions out of 607 63i,21n,91p,1354b,3886s stack positions out of 1500i,500n,5000p,200000b,32768s 973 PDF objects out of 65536 480 named destinations out of 20000 9 words of extra memory for PDF output out of 65536

Hi, > > ! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [hash size=35000]. > In MiKTeX the file is miktex.ini, not texmf.cnf; you should > find a hash_size= entry there. There was no entry like this ;( But I created it (and also hash_size_def) in section MikTeX, pdfeTeX... I created new section Magic, too - and try changing other values, but nothing has effect with this size ;( I compared the simlest document in LaTeX with the simpliest document in ConTeXt - there was: - about 3000 multiletter control sequences out of 35000 in LaTeX - about 30000 ! in ConTeXt Why MikTeX don't support ConTeXt?... Why... ;) -- Best regards Martin

Do typescripts slow down ConTeXt?
by Steffen Wolfrum 29 Sep '03

29 Sep '03

Hi, since I switched from LaTeX to ConTeXt I am wondering why ConTeXt (actually pdfeTeX, Version 3.14159-1.10b-2.1 (Web2C 7.4.5) \write18 enabled) gets so extremely slow when I use my own PostScript font. Here is my little statistics (ConTeXT with default/my font - the same in LaTeX): 1) \starttext W619Q \stoptext (5 seconds) 2) \usetypescriptfile[type-agaramond] \usetypescript[AGaramond] \setupencoding[default=ec] \setupbodyfont[AGaramond,10.5pt]% \starttext W619Q \stoptext (12 seconds) 3) \documentclass{book} \begin{document} W619Q \end{document} (less then 1 second) 4) \documentclass[pdftex]{book} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage{textcomp} \usepackage[scaled,osf]{xagaramon} \begin{document} W619Q \end{document} (1 second) So it's 12 seconds compared to 5 seconds (or just 1 with LaTeX). Is this normal? Do I have a good chance that my typescript (see below) could be speeded up, or is this -unfortunately- the regular way ConTeXt deals with PostScript fonts? I'd be very happy for any help, Steffen "type-agaramond.tex" (for AGaramond Type1): \usetypescriptfile[type-buy] % \starttypescript [serif] [agaramond] [ec] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-Regular] [padr9e] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-Italic] [padri9e] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-Bold] [padb9e] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-BoldItalic] [padbi9e] [encoding=ec] % \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-Regular-OSF] [padr9d] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-Italic-OSF] [padri9d] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-Bold-OSF] [padb9d] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-BoldItalic-OSF] [padbi9d] [encoding=ec] % \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-Semibold] [pads9e] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-SemiboldItalic] [padsi9e] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-Semibold-OSF] [pads9d] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-SemiboldItalic-OSF] [padsi9d] [encoding=ec] % \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-RegularSC] [padrc9e] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-SemiboldSC] [padsc9e] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-RegularSC-OSF] [padrc9d] [encoding=ec] \definefontsynonym [AGaramond-SemiboldSC-OSF] [padsc9d] [encoding=ec] \stoptypescript % \starttypescript [serif] [agaramond] [name] \usetypescript[serif][fallback] \definefontsynonym [Serif] [AGaramond-Regular] \definefontsynonym [SerifBold] [AGaramond-Bold] \definefontsynonym [SerifItalic] [AGaramond-Italic] \definefontsynonym [SerifBoldItalic] [AGaramond-BoldItalic] \definefontsynonym [SemiBold] [AGaramond-Semibold] \definefontsynonym [SemiBoldItalic] [AGaramond-SemiboldItalic] \definefontsynonym [SerifCaps] [AGaramond-RegularSC] \definefontsynonym [SerifSemiCaps] [AGaramond-SemiboldSC] \definefontsynonym [OldStyle] [AGaramond-RegularSC-OSF]% the regular old-style figures are in the small-caps file \stoptypescript % \starttypescript [AGaramond] \definetypeface [AGaramond] [rm] [serif] [agaramond] [default] [encoding=ec] \stoptypescript
