font havoc
by Hans van der Meer 11 Nov '05

11 Nov '05

Suddenly it seems, I am getting bad messages for quite normal math fonts: Warning: pdfetex (file cmsy8): kpathsea: Running mktexpk --mfmode / -- bdpi 72 --mag 1+7/72 --dpi 79 cmmi10 mktexpk: Mismatched mode ljfzzz and resolution 72; ignoring mode. mktexpk: Can't guess mode for 72 dpi devices. mktexpk: Use a config file, or update me. (<<<< Why is this?) Font cmsy8 at 72 not found Warning: pdfetex (file cmmi10): Font cmmi10 at 79 not found {/usr/local/teTeX/share/texmf-dist/fonts/enc/dvips/psnfss/8r.enc}</ usr/local/te TeX/share/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/urw/helvetic/uhvr8a.pfb></usr/local/ teTeX/shar e/texmf-dist/fonts/type1/urw/helvetic/uhvb8a.pfb></usr/local/teTeX/ share/texmf- dist/fonts/type1/urw/courier/ucrr8a.pfb> I am not aware having changed to resolution 72 for ljfzzz or doing something different from previous installations of new context versions. The mode for ljfzzz was set with texconfig. I was running the 2005-10-27 context version, but reverting tot 2005-08-31 did not solve the problem. What has happened to my fonts? Has it something to do with the fact that tetex and context seem to use directories .texmf-config and .texmf-var differently? Why does something that ran without a hitch suddenly is broken? Does someone know how to restore things to normal? Hans van der Meer

Index
by Olivier 10 Nov '05

Hi, is there a mechanism so that on is able to say \index[start from here]{great+topic} % we are on p3 blabla much material \index[stop there]{great+topic} % we are on p7 and the index will advertise the topic as great topic 3-7 Of course I don't want to put an \index at every page (I don't even know the page break when looking at the source file ;) This feature is especially nice when defining a concept in a manual. Many thanks in advance, Olivier

maximum of \externalfigure in MP
by andrea valle 10 Nov '05

10 Nov '05

Hi to all, I'm including many externalfigures in pdf in a MPgraphic (300 pdfs, more or less). The MPgraphic draws some arrows connecting the pdf fragments. (it is the musical project using lilypond we discussed some time ago). Till now, everything has always gone very well. Now I'm getting a little crazy. in fact, I'm having a strange behaviour I cannot explain. When I render the context file, as output I have the MP drawing, but all the (many) pdfs are replaced with blank spaces. I noticed that it seems that pdfs are not loaded (the console doesn't print their names in any way). I also checked the utility files (.mp, etc) but I'm not able to extract any useful info. If I comment out some of the lines requesting \externalfigure, (remaining) pdfs are again displayed. So, I'm guessing that is should be something related with a maximum of \externalfigure. I'm surprised because I generated examples containing many more pdf fragments than the present one, and I have never had any problem. Here's the zipped directory I'm working with: www.semiotiche.it/andrea/membrana/nodi3-.zip Any hint/help is much appreciated Best -a- Andrea Valle DAMS - Facoltà di Scienze della Formazione Università degli Studi di Torino andrea.valle(a)unito.it

Hello, what do I need to do, to get the new automatic spacing before punctuation with recent pdfetex? - What version of pdfetex? - What version of ConTeXt? - And what commands to configure this? TIA for any hint! Cheers, Peter -- http://pmrb.free.fr/contact/

wasy symbol set
by Henning Hraban Ramm 09 Nov '05

09 Nov '05

Hi ho! I needed some symbols from the wasy fonts (known from the LaTeX package wasysym), and here's the whole set for you. ;-) The ZIP contains the module symb-was.tex, the font map original- wasy.map and a test tex file. (The wasy fonts live in http://dante.ctan.org/CTAN/fonts/wasy2/, but they're part of most TeX installations.) I left out the mathematical operators and integrals for I don't know nothing about math and I guess that the stuff is already part of core math. symb-was.tex addresses only wasy10 (see below), but there are also wasy5-9 and wasyb10 (bold?) - how can I use these? (Don't know if that makes any sense.) \definefontsynonym [WaSy] [wasy10] \def\WaldiSymbol#1{\getglyph{WaSy}{\char#1}} If someone can tell if the math stuff is needed and if the font design size issue is fixed, I'd be happy if this module would make it into the core distribution. Grüßlis vom Hraban! --- http://www.fiee.net/texnique/ http://contextgarden.net http://www.cacert.org (I'm an assurer)

long quotation problem
by Alan Bowen 09 Nov '05

09 Nov '05

I have been adapting some of my old Plain TeX macros to ConTeXt, using hints and suggestions from the ConTeXt wiki. What I have thus far works exactly as desired in the body text, but fails in the footnotes. I have appended some encoded text that shows the problem. Note the poor line-spacing and (unwanted) indentation in the first line of the quotation in the footnote: this quotation should look the same as the one in the body text. I realize that I could fix this simply by inserting a \noindent in the footnote, for instance. But I am trying to reduce the amount of thinking an coder has to do, and so would really like to define the startextract..\stopextract environment more effectively. Any pointers or suggestions for fixing this will be gratefully received.

[Fwd: Re: [NTG-context] Problems with Natural Tables]
by Vit Zyka 09 Nov '05

09 Nov '05

Hello Hans, (I guess you are the only person who can specify your previous answer), so please, is the file 'core-ntb-new.tex' somewhere available? Actually what I want. I have plenty of natural tables. If I want to make closer interline space between table lines the only way I know is to make smaller value of offset param. But after that, columns are too close together (framed object as a core of natural table does not distinguish between vertical and horizontal offsets). So bellow mentioned \setupTABLE[c][1][distance=2em] would be nice solution. So ones more, is the new code available? Thank you in advance for the answer.
