fundamental problem with headings
by Steffen Wolfrum 24 Jan '05

24 Jan '05

Hi, there seems to be a fundamental problem with headings - or at least I have :( Each kind of "emphasizing" - like \it \bf \cap \sc etc. - lets the respective phrase fall back to the documents bodyfont (see example below). How can I avoid this bug? Do I use wrong code? Thank you, Steffen \starttext \def\Textit{\groupedcommand\it\/} \definefont[SectionFont][Serif at 20pt] \def\SectionStyle{\SectionFont\setupinterlinespace[line=30pt]} \setuphead[section] [alternative=paragraph,style=\SectionStyle] text \section{heading \Textit{italic} heading} text \stoptext

Yet another nath problem
by Nikolai Weibull 24 Jan '05

24 Jan '05

\mathoptions@on is bug-ridden. It \def's <, but doesn't restore it upon exit (with \mathoptions@off). One solution is to simply add a \bgroup...\egroup pair to the two. That works for now, nikolai P.S. It seems that the \longrightarrow problem still remains. Was there no fix applied for this yet? We had several possible solutions if I remember correctly, e.g., \let\unprotectedlongrightarrow\longrightarrow \unexpanded\def\longrightarrow{\unprotectedlongrightarrow} This is all with the %D last updated: 2004.11.18 release; the one included in tetex-2.99.9.20050111 D.S. -- ::: 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);}

What's strange to me is that in both texexec.ini (tetex and local) the default interface language is set to en. Is there another file containing this information? Anyway, as I couldn't solve the miracle I moved to avoiding it: by using texexec --pdf --interface=en This works. Steffen

Gerben's TeX+ConTeXt packages: can't find the format `cont-nl.fmt' ?
by Steffen Wolfrum 24 Jan '05

24 Jan '05

Hi, in the past I could use Gerben's TeX and ConTeXt distributions for Mac without manual changes. Last night I downloaded the "2004 stable" and Context-updater. If I now typeset a ConTeXt file as usual (texexec --pdf foo.tex) I get the following error: TeXExec 5.2.3 - ConTeXt / PRAGMA ADE 1997-2004 executable : pdfetex format : cont-nl inputfile : untitled output : pdftex interface : nl current mode : none TeX run : 1 This is pdfeTeX, Version 3.141592-1.20a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.3) (/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf.local/web2c/natural.tcx) Sorry, I can't find the format `cont-nl.fmt'; will try `context.fmt'. I can't find the format file `context.fmt'! return code : 256 run time : 6 seconds total run time : 7 seconds TeX returned non zero exit status What has changed? Is there something I've missed?

processaction in keyval lists
by Thomas A.Schmitz 23 Jan '05

23 Jan '05

All, I couldn't resist spending some time today working on the Greek problem. I'm trying to write a proper module that would allow me to set up definitions for fonts and scaling. But I'm running into a problem that is beyond my meagre TeX abilities. I want to define the setup-command like so (using code that Taco send to the list a couple of months ago and that can be found on the wiki): \unprotect \def\setupgreek{\dodoubleempty\dosetupgreek} \def\dosetupgreek#1[#2]{% \getparameters[GG][Scale=,Font=,#2]%Font,Scale \edef\MyScale{\GGScale}% \expandafter\processaction\expandafter[\GGFont] [SomeFont1 =>\def\MyFont{somefont }, SomeFont2 =>\def\MyFont{someotherfont }] } \protect \definebodyfont[4pt,5pt,6pt,7pt,8pt,9pt,10pt,10.5pt,11pt,12pt,14pt,14.4p t,16pt,18pt,20pt,22pt][rm][Gf=\MyFont sa \MyScale] So I want this setup \setupgreek[Scale=1.5,Font=SomeFont1] to be expanded to somefont scaled at 1.5. However, when I process a file, I always get this error: ! Undefined control sequence. <argument> \MyFont sa \MyScale \parsefontspec #1->\xdef \somefontspec {#1 \space }\@EA \doparsefontspec \som... \xxdododefinefont ...tsize {#2}\parsefontspec {#4} \newfontidentifier \let \l... \fontstrategy ...ame #1\csname #2#3#4#5\endcsname \tryingfontfalse \fi <inserted text> ...yle \fontalternative \fontsize \fi \iftryingfont \fontstr... \synchronizefont ...strategy \the \fontstrategies \relax \fi \ifskipfontchar... ... When I add this line \def\MyFont{somefont } to the module, files compile without problems. So I conclude: the mistake is not in the definiton of MyFont itself, but my values are not getting processed the proper way; something in the \processaction part must be wrong. But I'm "stymied" here. Any suggestions would be most welcome! Best Thomas

How to learn ConTeXt?
by Marcin Borkowski 23 Jan '05

23 Jan '05

Hello everyone! My question is as in subject: how to learn ConTeXt? And another ones: How to install ConTeXt? Manually or from, e.g., TeXlive? I would like to typeset in Antykwa Torunska or Antykwa Poltawskiego. Setting \setupbodyfont[...] yields errors about missing ec-ant* fonts (I use the TeXlive 2004 installation, the same thing happened in TeXlive 2003). Greetings -- Marcin Borkowski

Greek font in Footnote problem
by Alan Bowen 22 Jan '05

22 Jan '05

I am having trouble getting Greek in footnote environment. The Greek appears as it should in the text body, but in a footnote all I get is the input. In short, ConTeXt \footnote seems to ignore the \localgreek command. I attach a brief test file that should produce the problem as well as the input file defining the Greek font in the first place. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. By the way, there is no message in the log file to the effect that the Greek font is unavailable at a given font size. And I am using ConTeXt ver: 2004.10.26 fmt: 2005.1.3.
