u-diaeresis
by ciro 22 Sep '04

22 Sep '04

I use a font for \chapter that does print u-diearesis with \"u. Then I decided to write a small definition \udotdot that uses \char200 to print the diaeresis on top of the letter u. The problem now is that in my table of contents, the font is different, and the \char200 has a different meaning. How do I resolve this problem? thank you Ciro

Natural Table does not allow using defined typing in its cell
by Eugene Toporov 22 Sep '04

22 Sep '04

Hello, I found a strange (to me) bTABLE behaviour. I'm defining the "programlisting" typing and it works when used like below \def\BeforeProgramListing{\startframedtext[background=screen,width=\hsize,style=\tttf\small]} \def\AfterProgramListing{\stopframedtext} \definetyping[programlisting][before=\BeforeProgramListing,after=\AfterProgramListing] \startprogramlisting "Hello World! Hello" + txtName.text + "!" \stopprogramlisting When I'm trying to insert a programlisting into a table cell using the following code -- it fails to create PDF. \bTABLE \bTR \bTD Set the value to \eTD \bTD \startprogramlisting "Hello World! Hello" + txtName.text + "!" \stopprogramlisting \eTD \eTR \eTABLE When I replace \start\stopprogramlisting with in place \start\stopframedtext -- it works ok. \bTD \startframedtext[background=screen,width=\hsize,style=\tttf\small] "Hello World! Hello" + txtName.text + "!" \stopframedtext \eTD Why is this so? Do I miss something important? Thanks a lot. -- Regards. Eugene Toporov

Imposition features/limitations.
by John Culleton 21 Sep '04

21 Sep '04

On pages 39 ff and section 3.6 of _The Context Manual_ there are examples of different page imposition methods. I wonder if this has been extended to the level of true prepress software, with compensation for paper thickness and/or skew when folded and cut? Or is it just a demonstration of what could be done? This came up on another list while discussing pamphlet making. -- John Culleton Short list of publishing/marketing books: http://wexfordpress.com/tex/shortlist.pdf

bTABLE rogue column widths
by Duncan Hothersall 21 Sep '04

21 Sep '04

Hi all. I have the following code, used to set quotations with over-large quote marks either side. I use the bTABLE/eTABLE model because it is easy, and because it allows for the variable width of the quotation part (the middle column) and for it to carry over into multiple lines. When this code is run, the first one works as expected (the cell containing the quote is the width of the quote text). The second one produces a quote cell which expands so that the table fills the whole width of the page, even though the quote text itself is thinner than the previous one. I have left the lines in the table to show the problem. This runs on live.contextgarden.net and shows the same behaviour. Any thoughts on how to fix it to make the second one work like the first? Thanks.

Movie as externalfigure
by Eckhart Guthöhrlein 20 Sep '04

20 Sep '04

Hi all, probably I'm missing something trivial, but I can't make context include a mov-file. Here is my input: \starttext \externalfigure[mdmovie.mov] [label=md,width=4cm,height=4cm,preview=yes] \stoptext I don't get a movie in the pdf resulting from `texexec --pdf`, only this message seems to be a hint: figures : figure mdmovie.mov is not preset I found this problem in the archive; it was solved by specifying height and width. But I did already specify both height and width, so what's the problem? The movie is located in the same directory as the tex-file, so it has to be found, too. (And I guess 'preset' is not a typo anyway, is it?) I couldn't find anything helpful in the docs or the wiki, either. My version is the latest beta: pdfeTeX, Version 3.14159-1.10a-RC3-2.1 (Web2C 7.4.3) ConTeXt ver: 2004.8.18 fmt: 2004.9.16 int: english mes: english Thanks in advance, Eckhart

Re: [NTG-context] what fonts I have in my systems?
by ciro 20 Sep '04

20 Sep '04

Thank you to Tobias Hilbricht for the script. It is exactly what I was looking for. I notice that the command "testfont" is not a command with the backslash "\" Is there any way to create one single file with a \sample page for each font installed in my computer? Ciro =================================================== Dear Ciro, I used the following shell skript, which was one and a half years ago on http://www.educat.hu-berlin.de/~voss/lyx/fonts/fonts.phtml fontdemo.sh ------------- find `kpsewhich -expand-var='$TEXMFMAIN'`/fonts/tfm -name '*.tfm' -print | \ sed 's@.*/@@; s@\.tfm$@@' | \ xargs sh -c 'for i in "$@"; do (echo $i; echo \\\sample\\\bye) | \ tex testfont; mv testfont.dvi $i.dvi; echo $i.dvi; done' sh ------------- It gives you one dvi-file per installed font in your TeX-System - that is usually a lot. Yours sincerely Tobias Hilbricht
