\setuplayout --- what do parameters mean?
by David Arnold 04 Nov '04

04 Nov '04

All, When I see something like this: \setuplayout [topspace=10pt, header=40pt, headerdistance=20pt, height=middle, footerdistance=20pt, footer=0pt, bottomdistance=10pt, bottom=20pt, bottomspace=40pt, backspace=30pt, width=middle] I have a hard time working out what it means. I know I can do \showframe, but that doesn't indicate everything I need to see. Does anyone have a macro that shows ALL of these parameters in a visual way, similar to that on page 182 of the Latex User Guide, 2nd ed., Lamport?

\typebuffer and tabs / specify code type
by Eckhart Guthöhrlein 04 Nov '04

04 Nov '04

Hi all, I'm using \typebuffer to typeset some metapost code. How can I tell it to either ignore tabs or treat them like 1,2,3,... spaces, instead of printing ^^I? Another question: There has been a thread on telling \typebuffer what type of code on this list some time ago, without a final solution. Is there a switch to use metapost or whatever appropriate highlighting? Greetings, Eckhart

s-pre-61
by Arnold, David 03 Nov '04

03 Nov '04

Hans et al, OK, s-pre-61 looks nice and the source is not too long. It looks like a good place to start. So, I tried: Texexec --pdf --mode=demo s-pre-61 I got: (./type-spe.tex) (./type-exa.tex) (./type-akb.tex) (./type-ghz.tex)"makemf" --ve rbose "ec-lt55483" "hbf2gf" -q -g "ec-lt55483" 300 maketfm: No creation rule for font "ec-lt55483". !

Now, I know this is related to a font, so I looked in the source and found: \usetypescriptfile[type-ghz] \definetypeface[mainface][ss][sans][optima-nova][default][encoding=\defaulte ncoding] \setupbodyfont[mainface,ss,18pt] \setupinterlinespace[line=3.25ex] Since I am trying to learn Context in some depth this go round, I'd like to start by getting this font installed, if possible. What's the easiest way to get this done?

Losing frames in table

Suddendly I get this error message : systems : end file sda at line 3 ! Use of \localenvironment doesn't match its definition. l.6 \localenvironment s da-env-slides ? I upgraded a couple of weeks ago to the latest ConTeXt version and this error message is new. Is there some workaround? Thanks in advance, -- Fabrice

Re: [NTG-context] Font definitions.
by Dirar BOUGATEF 02 Nov '04

02 Nov '04

Thanks Hans. I see my error now. I was using a typescript name where a fontsynonym name was needed. I still have a question about \small and \big. i tried the \showbodyfontenvironment to see the sizes then tried this: {\big Hello world}Hello world{\small Hello world} I get the first and the second Hello world at the same size, where the fonts table shows that i should have \big at 14.3pt when my current size is at 12. Is there any interest to define a new font environment in this case ? This my example: \usetypescriptfile[Karat.tex] \usetypescript[karat] \setupbodyfont[karat,ss,12pt] \starttext \showbodyfontenvironment {\big Hello world}Hello world{\small Hello world} \stoptext Many thanks.

Re: Failing on Mac OS X
by Shivkumar Chandrasekaran 02 Nov '04

Thanks to all who replied, including Matthias Weber, Hans Hagen and Patrick Gundlach. The problem was fixed as soon as I used Expert mode in G. Wierda's TeX i-installer to install the 2004 branch (rather than the default 2003 package). I then used the ConTeXt updater i-installer and everything seems to be fine again. --shiv--
