updmap - who knows it?
by Steffen Wolfrum 28 Oct '04

28 Oct '04

Hi, working on Mac I happily added new font map files with updmap --enable Map texnansi-vendor-example.map Now, trying the same on a WinXP I get this error: Option enable, key "Map" requires a value Well, what value? What is different here than on MacOS? Steffen

Bug in math accents
by Leif Albers 28 Oct '04

28 Oct '04

Two years ago I already posted about following bug. I am amazed it still occurs in the present (beta) version of ConTeXt. When I use math accents (like \tilde) on top of italic characters in subscripts, they appear displaced. A trivial example is -------------------- SNIPP -------------------- \starttext $ E_{\tilde s} $ \stoptext -------------------- SNIPP -------------------- Compare the output to the plain TeX output of "$ E_{\tilde s} $ \end", and you will see the difference - watch the position of the accent. I really like the design of ConTeXt. But as long as this bug occurs, ConTeXt is useless to me. Dear developers: *please* send me a reply of some sort. Writing bug reports is time consuming and should at least be rewarded with a single line response. Even a "RTFM - you idiot" is better than no reaction at all. Thanks, Leif Albers

How to set matrices with amsl
by David Arnold 28 Oct '04

28 Oct '04

All, This loses the one: \usemodule[amsl] \starttext \startformula \left( \startarray 1\\2\\3 \stoparray \right) \stopformula \stoptext And this chokes completely with the error message that follows: \usemodule[nath] \starttext \startformula \left( \startarray 1\\2\\3 \stoparray \right) \stopformula \stoptext Error message: ERROR: Undefined control sequence. --- TeX said --- <argument> \c!voorwit =\intereqnsskip \xprocesscommaitem #1,#2->\if ,#1 ,\@EA \xprocesscommaitem \else \if ]#1\@EAE... <argument> \c!voorwit =\intereqnsskip ,\c!nawit =\v!geen \xdogetparameters #1]->\xprocesscommaitem #1 ,],\@relax@ \dosetupformulas ... \getparameters [\??fm #1][#2] \else \getparameters [\??f... <argument> ...=\intereqnsskip ,\c!nawit =\v!geen ] \setvalue {\e!start nathga... ... l.746 ...!voorwit=\intereqnsskip,\c!nawit=\v!geen] So, what is the correct way to use this array command? Can someone give some examples of its use?

gather
by David Arnold 28 Oct '04

28 Oct '04

All, The default behavior of gather is to center a group of equations. By default, each one is numbered. Try: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{amsmath} \begin{document} \begin{gather} F(x)=\int_0^x f(t)\, dt\\ F'(x)=f(x) \end{gather} \end{document} Compare with: \usemodule[amsl] \starttext \startgather F(x)=\int_0^x f(t)\, dt\\ F'(x)=f(x) \stopgather \stoptext In amsmath, if we don't want the individual equations numbered, we use the * version. Try: \documentclass{article} \usepackage{amsmath} \begin{document} \begin{gather*} F(x)=\int_0^x f(t)\, dt\\ F'(x)=f(x) \end{gather*} \end{document} I hope this helps those who are working on these issues.

Tables
by David Arnold 28 Oct '04

28 Oct '04

All, If I want to learn to typeset tables the "Context Way," there are many references, some old and out dated, some new? Where should I start (documentation) so that I am working with tables in Context in the most current up-to-date manner?

Great, this works. It's a bit more clear now. There is still one problem. I use the sans fallback in my typescript as follows, so that every alternative such as italic etc .. is mapped to my regular font (I have only one font file for the moment). Why do i get cmr italic instead of regular karat when i use \it for instance, or \bf etc. ? % This is Karat.tex \loadmapfile[texnansi-rubicon-karatmedium.map] \starttypescript [sans][karat][texnansi] \definefontsynonym [karat-sans][texnansi-KAMN][encoding=texnansi] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [sans][karat][name] \usetypescript[sans][fallback] \definefontsynonym [Sans][karat-sans] \stoptypescript \starttypescript [karat] \definetypeface [karat] [ss] [sans] [karat] [default] [encoding=texnansi] \stoptypescript Normally within the following example, i should get a text that is all written in regular karat(Well, probably not for \em !). \usetypescriptfile[Karat.tex] \usetypescript[karat] \setupbodyfont[karat] \starttext This is Karat roman, {\it italic,} {\bf bold,} and {\bi bold-italic.} \ss Hello world {\em \bf This is also bold-italic.} We have {\sc small caps} and old-style figures: {\os 0123456789}. \stoptext Thanks again.

RE: [NTG-context] Re: Installing a new font.
by Dirar BOUGATEF 27 Oct '04

I have tried the three of your propositions: First : keeping sans: 1. using \ss works 2. \definebodyfont[ss,Karat] does not. Second : changing from sans 3. Changed all refs to "sans" into "serif" in my typescript file karat.tex. This works too. Now, my font is a sans. What is the best way to configure it ? Is Context configured to use serif by default when u type any text ? Many thanks.

Metapost + metaObjet connector label on arcs
by Maurice Diamantini 27 Oct '04

27 Oct '04

Bonjour à tous, I hope I'm not too much out of topic, but I'm trying to put a metapost figure in a context file. I use a separate file for the figure to keep it independant, (and to avoid cumul of problems :-) The objectif is to build a graph by positionning some node (for now, it is just a circle) connecting them bu some ncarc connector (using metaObj) and the put label onto these arc. I know that one can do that using tree or matrix mataObj feature, but I'd want to be flexible on the node positions, Thank you very much for any help! -- Maurice Diamantini http://www.ensta.fr/~diam %%% START SAMPLE %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% input mp-tool ; % some initializations and auxiliary macros input mp-spec ; % macros that support special features input metaobj.mp ; % suffixe non indispensable ? beginfig(1) ; numeric u; u=1cm; z0=(0u,2u); z1=(3u,4u); z2=(6u,4u); % ... % I'll have to create my one metaObj (later) % newCircle.a1("") "circmargin(0.3u)"; % label(btex $x^2$ etex, z1); newCircle.a0(btex 0 etex) "circmargin(0.1u)"; newCircle.a1(btex 1 etex) "circmargin(0.1u)"; newCircle.a2(btex 2 etex) "circmargin(0.1u)"; a0.c = z0; a1.c = z1; a2.c = z2; % Question: how can I put a label on this arc??? ncarc(a0)(a1) "name(nc01)"; % The following doesn't work ! % ObjLabel.nc01(btex 0 etex) "labpos(0.75)", % "labdir(top)"; drawObj(a0,a1,a2,a3,a4,a5,a6); endfig ; end . %%% END SAMPLE %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Hi Hans, I took off the reference to Type-buy and corrected the other problem. I have also checked case sensitivity. Now i get less errors but still can't see my font !! What does the following mean ? systems : possible problem with 8 bit output When i rename my typescript to something else so texexec can't find it, this line changes to something like cann't find font ..
