UTF and texutil files...
by Martin Kolařík 23 Aug '04

23 Aug '04

Hi all, if I use UTF8 for chapter or section title the UTF characters are expanded to \char XXX and this form is written into tui/tuo file. But if such character is originally placed at the end of the word after expansion and tui processing the space after end of word is read out (being a part of syntax rule \char XXX <space>). Example: "Srovnání t-skupin" in chapter in UTF text results to: "Srovn\char 225 n\char 237 t-skupin" and this processed back (e.g. into content) results to: "Srovnánít-skupin" Probably this cannot be corrected any way except patching ConTeXt itself -- but if it is possible I do not know how now :-), thanks, Martin -------- Martin Kolarik Moravske Pristroje, a.s., Masarykova 1148, Zlin 76302 tel. +420 603 498 498, fax +420 577 107 171 web: http://www.mii.cz -------- e-mail: kolarik(a)mii.cz e-mail: kolarik(a)click.cz tel. +420 603 535 593

Right, interesting - have upgraded to Perl 5.8.5, and now, having removed the \def\testbytesequence{} from cont-new.tex, the error message "malformed UTF-8 character" has gone away! Quite possibly the RedHat 9 install of Perl 5.8.0 had some default of UTF-8 mode set (though I couldn't see any evidence of it). Thanks for this Taco. Still not producing any register output, but at least that's half the problem solved. Duncan

Lucida Bright Fonts from StarOffice
by skhilji＠tampabay.rr.com 23 Aug '04

23 Aug '04

For right now, I am giving up on the postscript fonts. Lets try something else. At http://home1.vr-web.de/~was/lucidayy/, you will see some files that tell you how to use the Lucida Bright fonts that come with StartOffice 5.2 with LaTeX. I copied all the pfb and afm files from StarOffice52 into a folder. Its contents are: [khilji@localhost fonts]$ ls *.pfb hlcbot6w.pfb hlcrot6w.pfb hlhd80.pfb hlhri80.pfb hlsdo80.pfb hlsro80.pfb hlcbot80.pfb hlcrot80.pfb hlhd81.pfb hlhri81.pfb hlsdo81.pfb hlsro81.pfb hlcbot81.pfb hlcrot81.pfb hlhdi80.pfb hlsd6w.pfb hlsr6w.pfb hlcbt6w.pfb hlcrt6w.pfb hlhdi81.pfb hlsd80.pfb hlsr80.pfb hlcbt80.pfb hlcrt80.pfb hlhr80.pfb hlsd81.pfb hlsr81.pfb hlcbt81.pfb hlcrt81.pfb hlhr81.pfb hlsdo6w.pfb hlsro6w.pfb [khilji@localhost fonts]$ I also have all the *.afm files from StarOffice. Is there any way I can use these fonts with ConTeXt? If yes, where do I need to copy them and what do I rename them to? Are these fonts exactly the same as the ones that you buy from yandy.com? Also the above site says "On the other hand, only the basic font styles (roman, sans serif, typewriter) are available, whereas the fonts from Y&Y include many more variants such as true smallcaps, sans serif italic, fax, handwriting, blackletter and more)" Does CoTeXt use the other fonts that are missing? I suppose it would be legal for me to use these fonts with ConTeXt? I may have to ask someone at yandy.com. It could be possible that these fonts are supposed to be used with StarOffice and StarOffice only. Salman

I have added \def\testbytesequence{} to the end of cont-new and the errors go away - but unfortunately I'm still not getting any register output. I still get register entries : 0 -> 0 entries 0 references although the .tui file is full of entries as far as I can tell. Maybe something esle is wrong - still working on minimal file.

Setting a maximum table/column width
by Flavio Ribeiro 22 Aug '04

22 Aug '04

Hi, The "excursion" manual describes how to use w(dim) to set a column's minimum width. Is there a way to set a column's maximum width so that text automatically wraps around? Alternatively, is there a way to set a table's maximum width so that it doesn't get wider than \textwidth? I tried using \SetTableToWidth{} at random locations but I either got errors or no improvement whatsoever. Thanks, Flavio

Of course we can use the various diacritical signs: accents (\greek{`a, 'a, ~a}), breathings (\greek{<r, >w, a"}) and subscribed iotas (\greek{a|, h|, w|}) (these last are pretty ugly in my opinion); observe how they automatically get the correct position with uppercase letters: (\greek{`A, 'A, ~A, <A, >A, A|}).
