Good question. I'll throw it open to the list: Metrics for the urw clone 35 used to be commonly found everywhere.

New context Release notes
by Taco Hoekwater 07 Dec '04

07 Dec '04

Hi there, For those of you who are interested, Hans has released a new ConTeXt last week, and I've created a release notes pages for it here: http://contextgarden.net/Context_2004.12.06 Highlights: * texfont.pl is now version 2.2.1. From now on, it uses internal filename globbing (using a new switch: --pattern=<wildcard>) instead of the shell wildcard expansion. Obviously, this means that the commandline has changed. * most other changes are bugfixes, follow the link for those. Greetings, Taco

recent font problems
by Patrick Gundlach 07 Dec '04

07 Dec '04

Hello out there, OK, I am having a bad day, but that doesn't stop me posting ... if you (Wolfgang) have font problems: please run the code that I mentioned in all my recent posts: Something like: -------------------------------------------------- \usetypescript [adobekb][\defaultencoding] \usetypescript[palatino][\defaultencoding] \setupbodyfont[palatino,12pt] \starttext \input tufte \stoptext -------------------------------------------------- If this goes wrong: post the relevant pieces of your logfile. This is the only way I can help. Please do not make assumptions about strange file names and please do not send me strange typescripts that I have never seen before (at least I forgot about them). Just run the code and post your results. After that we can try to find the rest of the problems. Thanks, Patrick (and sorry again for the bad sound of this mail) -- ConTeXt wiki: http://contextgarden.net

scite does not build output
by Wolfgang Zillig 03 Dec '04

03 Dec '04

Hi, I have some problems with scite: it generates no output but generates this error message: >texmfstart texexec.pl --pdf test.tex >Das System kann die angegebene Datei nicht finden. (-> this means that the system cannot find the file) If I start this in comand promt I get a long message (see at the end of this mail).

Tables ..
by Dirar BOUGATEF 03 Dec '04

03 Dec '04

Hi, I would like to use multipage tables. I had a look on the wiki and there are 2 ways of doing that. What is the advantage of using \startlinetable ? One of these seems to be that we can repeat columns .. Is Context going keep going with \startlinetable or not ? (As no doc exists and its developpement seems to be not finished yet) ? Thanks. Dirar.
