TaBlE problem
by Nikolai Weibull 06 Sep '04

06 Sep '04

This table is a bit messed up: \starttext \starttable[|r|c|c|] \HL \NC \bf State \VL\TWO{\bf Input Symbol} \NC\AR \DC \DL[2] \DR \NC \VL 0 \VL 1 \NC\AR \HL \NC $s_0$ \VL $s_1$ \VL $s_0$ \NC\AR \NC $s_1$ \VL $s_0$ \VL $s_1$ \NC\AR \HL \stoptable \stoptext Why aren't the columns for 0 and 1 of equal width? Is there a better way than to set the template to [|r|c(3em)|c(3em)|]? nikolai -- ::: name: Nikolai Weibull :: aliases: pcp / lone-star / aka ::: ::: born: Chicago, IL USA :: loc atm: Gothenburg, Sweden ::: ::: page: www.pcppopper.org :: fun atm: gf,lps,ruby,lisp,war3 ::: main(){printf(&linux["\021%six\012\0"],(linux)["have"]+"fun"-97);}

footnotes (short: behind, long: below)?
by Steffen Wolfrum 05 Sep '04

05 Sep '04

Hi, is there a predefined command for placing short footnotes at the bottom of each page but horizontally continuos? Is saw this way of typesetting footnotes in an "old" (seventies)-typeset philosophical book. It looks likes this: body text body text body text body text body bo- dy text body text body. ------ 1 short 2 short 3 too 4 short 5 but hey: the long note starts in a new line! I have never seen footnotes like this before. But it reads very pleasant: This way you don't have lot of empty white space (withs short notes), and it still is very clear (for the long footnote starts on a new line). Is it possible to typeset this in ConTeXt? Steffen

location of texsync.rb/minimal ConTeXt installation
by Nikolai Weibull 04 Sep '04

04 Sep '04

Where is texsync.rb located at the moment? It is not on http://www.pragma-ade.com/system/texsync.rb or anywhere in that directory, nor in the /context/ one. If that script isn't supported anymore, what's the difference between cont-bas.zip, justtex.zip.bz2, and linuxtex.zip.bz2? nikolai -- ::: name: Nikolai Weibull :: aliases: pcp / lone-star / aka ::: ::: born: Chicago, IL USA :: loc atm: Gothenburg, Sweden ::: ::: page: www.pcppopper.org :: fun atm: gf,lps,ruby,lisp,war3 ::: main(){printf(&linux["\021%six\012\0"],(linux)["have"]+"fun"-97);}

[FONTS] Japanese Unicode
by Nikolai Weibull 04 Sep '04

04 Sep '04

I'm trying to get some Japanese ideographs in my document, but haven't succeeded yet. Basically, what I've done is used Adam Lindsay's XSL-T stuff for creating an .enc for my .ttf (mona.ttf) and then run texfont to install the font in /usr/share/texmf/local/fonts. Now, I can't get the test .tex-file working because I get Warning: pdfetex (file cork-lmr10): Font cork-lmr10 at 600 not found {/usr/share/texmf/dvips/tetex/bbad153f.enc}</usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/bluesk y/cm/cmsy7.pfb>{/usr/share/texmf/dvips/tetex/aae443f0.enc}</usr/share/texmf/fon ts/type1/bluesky/cm/cmmi10.pfb>{/usr/share/texmf/dvips/tetex/0ef0afca.enc}</usr /share/texmf/fonts/type1/bluesky/cm/cmr5.pfb>{/usr/share/texmf/dvips/tetex/74af c74c.enc}</usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/bluesky/cm/cmti10.pfb></usr/share/texmf/ fonts/type1/public/marvosym/marvosym.pfb>{/usr/share/texmf/dvips/tetex/f7b6d320 .enc}</usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/bluesky/cm/cmr8.pfb></usr/share/texmf/fonts/ type1/bluesky/cm/cmsy10.pfb></usr/share/texmf/fonts/type1/bluesky/cm/cmr6.pfb> Warning: pdfetex (file mona30xx-raw-mona): Font mona30xx-raw-mona at 600 not fo und from it. Now, these are only warnings, so I tried showing it with gpdf (xpdf), ggv, and acroread for linux. Nothing worked correctly, and only gpdf was able to show anything at all (albeit it wasn't right). So I figured I'd try it myself. I wrote the following type-mone30xx.tex: \starttypescript[serif][mona30] \definefontsynonym[Mona30-Roman][mona30xx-mona][encoding=mona30xx] \stoptypescript \starttypescript[serif][mona30][name] \definefontsynonym[Serif][Mona30-Roman] \stoptypescript \starttypescript[Mona30] \definetypeface[Mona30][rm][serif][mona30][default] \stoptypescript and test.tex: \useregime[utf8] \usetypescriptfile[type-mona30] \usetypescript[Mona30] \setupbodyfont[Mona30] \starttext オ \stoptext Guess what...the resulting PDF is completely empty. Could someone _please_ tell me what I'm missing? I know I've been asking a lot of questions lately and perhaps most could have been answered by me delving deeper into the problem. The issue for me right now, though, is that I'm really stressed for time, as I need to get my masters' thesis done soon, and a lot is working against me at the moment. So, again, if you can help out in any way, _please_ do. nikolai -- ::: name: Nikolai Weibull :: aliases: pcp / lone-star / aka ::: ::: born: Chicago, IL USA :: loc atm: Gothenburg, Sweden ::: ::: page: www.pcppopper.org :: fun atm: gf,lps,ruby,lisp,war3 ::: main(){printf(&linux["\021%six\012\0"],(linux)["have"]+"fun"-97);}

lc code of `

03 Sep '04

Hi, Currently, we have \lccode`\'=`\' set for all languages, but it seems that some languages get problems with hyphenation. \de \hyphenatedword{Works''} \nl \hyphenatedword{Works''} \uk \hyphenatedword{Works''} \en \hyphenatedword{Works''} \de \hyphenatedword{Works} \nl \hyphenatedword{Works} \uk \hyphenatedword{Works} \en \hyphenatedword{Works} i did set the code because some languages needed it, but now i get puzzled: we can do: \startlanguagespecifics[nl,cz,sk,fr] \lccode`\'=`\' \stoplanguagespecifics but i wonder of this is the right approach.
