Re: [NTG-context] Iwona font

Hans, Gerben, No luck. Got the fonts at: http://www.janusz.nowacki.strefa.pl/kurier.html Installed to proper directories. But the sample source below did not work? Couple of things? 1. Do I have to also do an updmap or enable or some such thing? 2. I note that on my office system, /usr/local/teTeX is owned by root:wheel. But done in my fonts directory, some files are owned by darnolddarn:admind and some by root:admin. Could this be a problem? This file: \definetypeface[david][rm][sans][iwona][default][encoding=texnansi] \definetypeface[david][mm][math][iwona][default] \setupbodyfont[david,ss,10pt] \starttext This should work. \stoptext Produces junk1.log: This file: \definetypeface[david][rm][sans][iwona][default][encoding=texnansi] %\definetypeface[david][mm][math][iwona][default] \setupbodyfont[david,ss,10pt] \starttext This should work. \stoptext Produces junk2.log.

ConTeXt, XML en-dash
by Johannes Graumann 30 Nov '05

30 Nov '05

Hello, I just started to experiment with typesetting XML using ConTeXt ... I ran into this problem which I'm unable to solve: 1) I added the following rule to my xml map file: \defineXMLentity [en] -- 2) yet calling &en; in my document results in the TeX equivalent of "-" rather than "--" being typeset. Any pointers? Thanks for your help, Joh -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Johannes Graumann, Dipl.

margin displacement when using backgrounds?
by Taco Hoekwater 29 Nov '05

29 Nov '05

Hi again, It seems there is a bit of margin displacement when using backgrounds. I assume there is a \setupbackground parameter I can use to fix this displacement, but I don't know which one ? TIA for any help, Taco % minimal file: \starttext A\inleft{test} b \startbackground A\inleft{test} b \stopbackground \stoptext

shading box many times
by Vit Zyka 29 Nov '05

Dear Metafun Wizards, I have noticed some strange behaviour with box shading. It works OK until some number of shadings. Please see example: http://typokvitek.com/tmp/shade-many.pdf Any idea for solving? Next not-minimal but small and illustrative example can help.

Hi Hans, Currently \nomarking expand into (essentially) \unknown. Is it possible to make that configurable? I now have \section{title\nomarking{\footnote{note}}} \marking[section]{title} and that is rather ugly (or is there a better way?) Taco

indentation + YandY Lucida on TeXlive2005+debian
by Renaud AUBIN 28 Nov '05

First of all, thanks for Lucida tips... It work now with my debian install of texlive 2005. I'm working now on the layout and structure of my phd thesis. Due to the fact that my thesis is in french I need to setup indentation of the first paragraph and I've got a problem with \setupindenting \indenting I have followed the structure given in cont-eni.pdf : ______________________________phd.tex_begin %% Set output to pdf \setupoutput[pdftex] %% Activate txt in METAPOST \useMPlibrary[txt] %% Activate colors \setupcolors[state=start] % fr settings \setuppapersize[A4][A4] \enableregime[il9] \useencoding[ffr] \mainlanguage[fr] % Fonts \usetypescriptfile[type-buy] \loadmapfile[ec-bh-lucida.map] \usetypescript[lucida][ec] \setupbodyfont[lucida] \startproject phd \environment phdenv \product phdprod \stopproject ______________________________phd.tex_end ______________________________phdend.tex_begin \startenvironment phdenv \setupwhitespace[big] \setupindenting[first,medium] \indenting[first,always] \setupfootertexts[part][chapter] \stopenvironment ______________________________phdend.tex_end ______________________________phdprod.tex_begin \startproduct phdprod \project phd \startfrontmatter \completecontent \stopfrontmatter \startbodymatter \component first \component second \stopbodymatter \startbackmatter \completecontent \stopbackmatter \stopproduct ______________________________phdprod.tex_end ______________________________first.tex_begin \startcomponent first \part{One} \completecontent \chapter{First} \section{Section1} This is a cut-down version of the below Unicode Symbols package, designed to be simple and usable with any pdfTeX-centric \ConTeXt\ installation.

beginners manual
by Hans Hagen 28 Nov '05

28 Nov '05

Hi, I 'reorganized' (split) the beginners manual and put it in svn, so anyone who is willing to translate can check out a copy. I didn't yet change anything (only the file structure etc) and the styles need a cleanup (more modern setup). Because each chapter now has its own file, we can (as suggested on this list) edit piecewise. Don't start yet. First we need to add/remove things and rewrite chapters. But you can try to compile the file. Hans

blackboard bold and calligraphic
by Hans van der Meer 28 Nov '05

28 Nov '05

BLACKBOARD There is a problem with the Blackboard symbols, when used in regular and bold forms both. In the Lucida fontset there is a regular series in lbma (or hlcra), and a bold series in font lbmad (or hlcda). As I understand from the current code, switching from regular to bold should be accompanied by a switch from Blackboard to something like BlackboardBold in the command \bbd (from the sources I guess \bbd in font-ini.tex is the most basic macro here). The problem is that \bbd is defined as: \def\bbd {\mathortext{\fam\purefamily {blackboard}}{\symbolicfont {Blackboard}}} Thus the font is hardcoded to regular Blackboard. I have no idea what should be the best strategy to repair this. As for now, the most general mechanism for switching to other/bold math fontfamilies I could find is using \bfmath (and friends). The font needed is in one of the math font registers, of course, so something like {\ma CNRZ} instead of {\bbd CNRZ} will do. But this low level code makes the TeX text source explicitely dependent on the font; for example in the AMS-series these characters are found in msmb, usually ending up in \ma. Is there some generic solution here? CALLIGRAPHIC There is a similar problem with $\cal ...$ It is defined as \def\cal {\mathortext{\fam\purefamily{calligraphic}}{\symbolicfont {Calligraphic}}} I definded font "Calligraphic" but here ConTeXt does not seem to use it in math mode. The calligraphic symbols appear to be taken from the sy (symbol) math family instead of the Calligraphic font. It is a problem, because in the font I am using the calligraphic letters are in another font. Typesetting ${\cal XYZ}\hbox{\cal XYZ}$ gives the wrong characters from the symbol font in the first case, the correct letters in the second. How can this be solved? yours sincerely, dr. H. van der Meer

No partial contents for parts after the first
by Giuseppe Bilotta 28 Nov '05

28 Nov '05

I'm using the latest ConTeXt reported here, and I'm noticing that partial contents for the second, third etc part are not available. I have a bunch of files each of which goes like \part{some part} Some text (not always) \placecontent \chapter{some chapter} Each of this file is \input from the master file. However, only in the first part you actually see the (part-specific) content: every other part reports system : part,chapter,section,subsection not found/processed The setup for the contents is as follows: \setupcombinedlist[content] [interaction=all, partnumber=no, alternative=c, level=subsection] \setuphead[part][alternative=middle,placehead=yes,resetnumber=no] The problem is the 'resetnumber': if I take that off, everything works perfectly. -- Giuseppe "Oblomov" Bilotta
